(CS) While the summer holiday season normally means less traffic for motorists on Luxembourg's roads, nerves were put to a test on Monday morning when a lorry broke down on the A6 motorway.

The right lane of the A6 in direction of Luxembourg City had to be closed from near Mamer, causing tailbacks of around eight kilometres shortly after 8am.

The vehicle was repaired on site and traffic was back to normal shortly before 10am.
