A truck caught fire inside the early Friday morning, November 1, at approximately 02:50. The incident occurred in the direction of travel toward and was caused by a technical defect that completely destroyed the vehicle.
Six occupants were inside the truck when the fire began, but all managed to exit the tunnel independently through a cross-passage into the opposite tube. Medical assessments later confirmed that no injuries were sustained despite the total loss of the truck.
The tunnel was closed in both directions for several hours, with the east tube reopening at 04:36. Traffic toward Tyrol was restored to one lane at 05:19 and fully reopened by 05:50, following minor repairs to the damaged road surface from the intense heat.
