Police call for witnesses: collision at the "Edlibach junction"

There was a car accident In Menzingen on Monday morning, when a violent collision occurred between two vehicles at an intersection. The involved persons were thereby injured, and the police are now looking for witnesses.

A 29-year-old man was driving on the Edlibachstrasse from Cholrain in the direction of Neuheim. At the same time, a 28-year-old was driving a van on the main road from Menzingen in the direction of "Nidfuren". For some reason, there was a violent collision between the two vehicles at the intersection, according to an announcement from the canton of Zug. The car remained stopped on the intersection after the collision – while the van came off the road, tipped over to its side and stopped by a tree.
