Car Fire Causes Traffic Chaos on Alberdi Avenue in Buenos Aires

Residents of Caballito experienced tense moments after a car caught fire on Juan Bautista Alberdi Avenue, causing a parked vehicle to also be affected. Despite the quick action of the City Fire Department, they reported that the lane reduction continued and it was poorly signposted. The fire occurred this Thursday afternoon on Juan Bautista Alberdi Avenue at 630, between Riglos and San Ireneo, and there was tension for several minutes due to the density of the fire, which also affected a parked vehicle. However, according to sources who confirmed the case to the Noticias Argentinas Agency, until this Friday morning, the reduction of the two left lanes of the said avenue continued to affect traffic. Authorities asked to drive with caution due to the poor signage of the burnt vehicle on the road.
