"Unfit to drive"
Total loss after nodding off at the wheel
The driver of a delivery van fell asleep on the A13 highway in Switzerland, just over the border with Vorarlberg, on Wednesday night. The result was a head-on crash.
A 51-year-old woman was driving on the A143 towards Sargans at around 2.50 a.m. on Wednesday when she fell asleep behind the wheel of her van - according to her own account.
The rude awakening came when the car crashed head-on into the battering ram of a roadworks barrier. The woman was incredibly lucky, because although the car looked like it had already been in the scrap press after the crash, the driver only suffered minor injuries. She was taken to hospital by ambulance. The police classified the driver as "unfit to drive" and a blood and urine test was ordered.
