Smart car on the side of the road: full fire causes excitement at Nufringen!

A dramatic incident occurred on Tuesday, July 2, 2025, on Kreisstraße 1046 between Nufringen and Gärtringen-Rohrau. A smart burned out completely after the 54-year-old driver noticed flames behind the driver's seat and quickly turned the vehicle on a junction. It was at 11:45 a.m. when the driver who noticed the flames critically assessed the situation and immediately left the car.

The vehicle was in full fire shortly after the driver got out. Despite its immediate extinguishing measures, the alarmed fire brigade could not prevent the smart from burning out completely. The exact circumstances that led to the fire are so far unclear and the investigation by the Ludwigsburg police headquarters are underway. The property damage is currently not yet quantified.
