Pizza delivery truck bursts into flames while driving - driver remains unharmed!
Late on Friday evening, June 20, 2025, the city of Kaiserslautern experienced a dramatic incident. A car that was used for a pizza delivery service burned down completely on Ohlkasterhohl Street. The 33-year-old driver had only purchased the vehicle two days earlier and noticed light smoke when he parked the car.
Despite this disturbing observation, the driver decided to finish his deliveries first. When he returned, however, he discovered that the car was already fully engulfed in flames. The fire brigade was quickly on site and was able to extinguish the fire, but the vehicle was completely destroyed. Two cars parked next to the van were slightly damaged by the flames, although fortunately there were no injuries.
Technical problems caused the fire
The police assume a technical defect was the cause of the fire. This was also confirmed by the local media. [Tixio] reports that after the first sign of smoke, the driver remained unconcerned and delivered his pizzas in the meantime. It wasn't until he returned that he saw the full extent of the damage.
The fire department reacted quickly and was able to prevent anything worse from happening, but any help came too late for the new delivery truck. With only two days on the market, the loss is particularly painful for the delivery service operator, as he is only faced with the consequences of the fire immediately after purchasing a vehicle.
It was also mentioned in the media that the incident did not result in any injuries and a full investigation was launched to clarify the exact circumstances of the fire. Local authorities are taking this incident seriously to avoid similar incidents in the future.
However, the situation also raises questions about vehicle safety and technical standards, especially in the area of commercial vehicles in delivery services. [Wochenblatt Reporter] highlights that the fire department's quick response helped prevent a major disaster that could well have resulted from such a fire.
