On 27 April 2026, a caravan fire occurred on the A1 motorway near the Harselaar industrial area at Voorthuizen. According to different sources, the fire started around 14:30 or 14:40. The driver noticed the flames, pulled over onto the hard shoulder, and uncoupled the trailer.

Firefighters arrived but could not save the caravan — by then it was completely engulfed in flames and burned out entirely. No injuries have been reported. Traffic towards Stroe was temporarily closed, causing a 20-minute traffic jam. Fire brigade, police, Rijkswaterstaat, and a tow truck were on site.
