Quite, oh dear.

All diesel car transporters should be banned, to stop this happening again. Are you MB in disguise?

It's funny that when a car transporter full of petrol and diesel cars sets alight, they never feel the need to report that it was a car transporter full of petrol and diesel cars, it's just a car transporter. Got to keep the narrative alive I guess.

Looks like truck started it off at 06:38.
From the pictures, all extinguished by 10:41.
I thought from all the doomsayers it would have had been started by an EV and take 28 years to put out.
Bloody diesels.

You’re assuming it wasn’t an electric tractor unit. Come on, get with the agenda…

A naive transporter driver probably stopped to help out an EV that had suffered premature and catastrophic battery failure. Having waited until the EV had been recovered a PH deity righteously smote the transporter with a bolt of lightning.. Ensuing fire etc.

Not really because the driver would have put them out with a hand held fire extinguisher and got on with his day.

Yeah, because that's what's happens, not.

Local Facebook posts suggest it was a burst tyre on the lorry that caught fire. That then obviously set light to the cars. Road didn't reopen until late yesterday for the usual resurfacing. Lots of pics on Facebook of gridlocked local roads.
