The scene of the accident on the Gulmstrasse in Oberägeri

Around an hour later, a second traffic accident occurred on the Gulmstrasse in Oberägeri. A 33-year-old motorist who was driving uphill lost control of her vehicle and crashed into a retaining wall on the right-hand side of the road, and then into a lamppost. The police report states that she was slightly injured and was taken to the hospital for checks. The vehicle was also a total write-off.
