Autobahn Story

 Yesterday (Wed), we had the worst possible blockage on the local Wiesbaden autobahn area (A3 motorway).

What the cops say is that a tractor-trailer rig hauling batteries to a recycling point in Bavaria....caught fire.  

The truck pulled to the side, and this started a 90-minute complete closure to the Autobahn (both sides apparently).  Luckily, the fire guys arrived and were able to control the fire/smoke enough....putting it out, and leaving the truck capable of leaving the scene. 

Screwing up traffic?  The suggestion is that roughly 10 km of traffic was 'stuck'.
