Around 11.15 a.m., for unknown reasons, a fire broke out in a moving car on the A7. While driving, smoke suddenly billowed from the vehicle, after which it caught fire a few moments later.

Lots of smoke development

Coincidentally, an ambulance was on the highway at the same time, helping to block the road until the fire department arrived. Because the smoke blew over the entire highway, Rijkswaterstaat closed the N9 near Zuidoostbeemster in both directions.
