On Sunday afternoon, the driver of a rig with a burning caravan drove along the A 45 towards Dortmund. The couple from Gütersloh was returning from vacation. Shortly after the Haiger-Burbach junction, other motorists alerted the driver to heavy smoke coming from the rear of the caravan. Due to a construction zone, stopping was impossible, so he continued to the Wilnsdorf exit. Fire departments from Wilnsdorf and Wilden met the rig at the 'Am Elkersberg' parking area, uncoupled the caravan, and extinguished the fire. The interior was completely destroyed. According to police, the fire was likely caused by a defect in an electrical appliance.
