Truck ablaze on the highway, A27 at Raamsdonksveer is closed

The A27 at Raamsdonksveer was closed in both directions on Wednesday evening due to a major fire on the highway. A truck is completely ablaze in the direction of Gorinchem to Breda. The driver is unharmed.

The fire broke out just before 10 p.m. It soon became clear that the truck could no longer be saved. The fire brigade is present with five vehicles and an aerial platform to extinguish the fire. According to a 112 correspondent, expensive laptops were in the burning truck, among other things.

Because the highway is closed in both directions, it is best for traffic to detour via the A59 and A16, according to the ANWB.
