The blaze, which began in a truck traveling on the motorway, spread to nearby vegetation. Initially, traffic on the AP-7 was completely stopped in both directions. Later, northbound traffic and one southbound lane were reopened, although queues of up to 10 kilometers were reported.
As a result of the fire, train services on the R4 line of Rodalies between Sant Sadurní d’Anoia and Martorell Central stations have been completely suspended. Adif has implemented an alternative road transport plan to cover the affected section.
Protecció Civil de la Generalitat has activated the pre-alert for the Ferrocat plan due to the situation.
