Alicante province firefighters reported this week that they have been called out to incidents on the motorways.
On Tuesday night a car caught fire on the hard shoulder of the AP-7 at the Los Montesinos exit.
“When we arrived the smoke and flames had destroyed most of the vehicle,” said a brigade spokesman.
They extinguished the fire quickly, but only a burned out shell was left.
No injuries were reported.
And on Monday, firefighters from Villena joined colleagues from Albacete province after a large HGV turned over and blocked the A-33 motorway.
The spokesman explained that the driver was injured and had to be helped out of the cab of the vehicle.
A large amount of fuel was spilled on the carriageway which the teams cleaned up before the road could be reopened.
