On Saturday afternoon, a motorhome of a German tourist caught fire on the Tauern motorway (A10) in the state of Salzburg. The three occupants — a 39-year-old man from Thuringia and his two children — managed to leave the vehicle before it was completely burned out.

The fire started with a loud bang in the engine compartment, after which the vehicle lost power and began to smoke. The driver stopped on the hard shoulder, and everyone got out. Firefighters extinguished the blaze and removed two empty gas cylinders. Due to heavy smoke, the motorway was closed in both directions; traffic was restored by 8:45 pm, causing long traffic jams.

Eight puppies rescued from van on A4 motorway in Austria

Austrian police discovered eight five-week-old puppies in a Romanian van during a checkpoint at Bruck an der Leitha on the A4 motorway. The animals were in an unsecured transport box without water or food for over seven hours, having traveled about 540 kilometers. The driver failed to provide required documents, including EU pet passports and transport permits. The puppies were handed over to an animal welfare organization, and charges were filed under the Animal Transport Act; a security deposit of 3,000 euros was collected.
