Horror crash
Delivery van driver fell asleep at the wheel in a tunnel
Because he had dozed off, a delivery van driver crashed his vehicle into a car in the Swiss canton of Sankt Gallen, just over the border with Vorarlberg. The car then overturned. Two people were injured in the accident.
A horror crash occurred on Tuesday evening on the Swiss A1 highway in the canton of Sankt Gallen: A 31-year-old man was driving a delivery van in the overtaking lane. In the Rosenberg Tunnel South, the driver was overcome by fatigue and fell asleep at the wheel.
The truck then drove into the normal lane, where a 54-year-old man was traveling in his car. The truck crashed into the rear of the car and then into the kerb. There, the van spun and hit the 54-year-old man's car again. Due to the force of the impact, the car overturned and finally came to rest on its roof.
No bill
The driver was injured to an indeterminate degree and had to be taken to hospital by ambulance. The passenger of the van driver also sustained injuries, fortunately only minor ones. The 31-year-old survived the incident unscathed. However, the incident will have unpleasant repercussions, as the man was not in possession of a driver's license.
