PalmaThe fire in a truck on the Andratx motorway (Ma-1) this Monday has caused long traffic jams that extend to the ring road.
The incident took place around 10:15 AM at kilometer 12 of the motorway in the direction of Andratx, according to information from the General Directorate of Traffic (DGT).
The fire has been extinguished and efforts are now focused on clearing the road, for which reason one lane remains closed. This situation has caused traffic jams up to the Gènova tunnel on the Ma-20.
