# Truck Fire Closes Ambergtunnel Early Friday November 1, 2026 at 08:56 AM > A technical defect destroyed a Fiat Ducato truck in the Ambergtunnel on November 1, forcing a temporary closure of the route toward Tyrol. A **Fiat Ducato** truck caught fire inside the **Ambergtunnel** early Friday morning, November 1, at approximately 02:50. The incident occurred in the direction of travel toward **Tyrol** 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. #Ambergtunnel #TruckFire #TrafficAlert [#Tyrol]() [#RoadSafety]() ## Related news ## [Austria Winter Tire Mandate Starts November 1]() October 31, 2026 at 12:40 PM ## [Innsbruck to Launch New Parking Rules Monday]() October 30, 2026 at 10:21 AM ## [Zillertaler Höhenstraße Closed Due to Snowfall]() October 24, 2026 at 12:32 PM ## [Tyrol Probes Gas Station Over High Fuel Prices]() October 23, 2026 at 10:55 AM ## [E-Scooter Fatalities and Injuries Rise in Austria]() October 14, 2026 at 06:21 PM
