Intoxicated woman falls asleep at the wheel

An intoxicated woman nodded off at the wheel of her car on the A4 motorway at the Rütihof junction on Saturday night, and came off the road. Her car was a total write-off.

The accident happened shortly before 3 a.m. when the 26-year-old was travelling from Küssnacht towards Zurich, according to a report from the Zug police. The driver lost control of her vehicle, drove a few metres through the undergrowth and finally came to a stop on the breakdown lane. Total damage was caused to the car, but no one was injured in the accident.

A breath alcohol sample showed a value of more than one per mil, and the driver had to hand over her driver's license. In addition, she will also have to appear before the Public Prosecutor's Office of the Canton of Zug.
