It's worth noting that the search results do not provide information about the head of the Autobahnpolizeiinspektion in Gera or details specifically about the arson of a BMW on the A4 between Rüdersdorf and Gera-Langenberg.

The lane towards Dresden was fully closed for a few minutes due to firefighting operations. We hope that this incident serves as a reminder to always prioritise safety on the roads.
