Back to newsA car caught fire on the BOAK (North Road Axis of Crete) just east of Rethymno, prompting an emergency response from the fire brigade. The driver managed to exit the vehicle safely before it was fully engulfed in flames. The incident caused disruption along one of Crete's main east-west highway connections, which links Heraklion, Rethymno, and Chania. Travelers using the BOAK near Rethymno may have experienced delays while emergency services managed the scene. If you are driving the BOAK, allow extra time during incidents and follow directions from emergency personnel on site. The road is generally well-signed and patrolled, but traffic can back up quickly during such events, especially in summer when vehicle volumes are high.
