It is around half past four when a truck driver notices that his load of straw is on fire. The man can disconnect his own trailer and park safely on the breakdown strip. The fire brigade can extinguish the straw quickly. Due to the considerable smoke development, the ring is partly closed. The re -extinguishing and clearing of the road can take a few hours. Until that long is no traffic possible between the Marke and Bissegem exits, and you have to detour.
A be-alert was sent to local residents and passers-by with the advice to close windows and doors and eliminate the ventilation in the car.
