Reports suggest that the shell of the vehicle has caught fire and there is fear of an explosion.

On the orders of the traffic police, traffic was halted in both directions due to a fire in a tanker at 46 km to Patras. Traffic at the Megaron junction (towards Corinth) and Kinetas junction (towards Athens) is being diverted at PEO.

Olympia Odos asks motorists to comply with traffic instructions, use caution when crossing the area, and those who have not yet started their journeys to temporarily postpone their journeys until further notice.
