19-year-old woman driver escapes with slight injuries

Miraculously, the 19-year-old woman driver of the car in the photograph escaped with slight injuries only after she was in collision with another vehicle in Menzingen on Tuesday morning.

The incident happened shortly after 7.30 am as the driver of a car driven by a 51-year-old woman coming from the Edlibach direction and heading towards Zug failed to give way to the vehicle driven by the 19-year-old as she approached Aegeristrasse. In the ensuing sideways collision, the car driven by the 19-year-old turned over and ended up its roof.

Fortunately, the older driver escaped injury but was also taken to hospital along with the 19-year-old who, as mentioned, suffered slight injuries only.

Both cars were considerably damaged in the incident, which inevitably led to congestion building up at this time, Aegeristrasse itself subject to alternating one-way traffic-flow for some time.
