Rear-end collision at road junction

A rear-end collision occurred in Baar on Wednesday afternoon. Three cars were involved, two of which were no longer drivable. One person had to be taken to hospital.

An ambulance with flashing blue lights and special signals was on the road in Baar shortly before 2.30 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon. Coming from the Cantonal Hospital, the ambulance crossed the intersection in the direction of the Nordstrasse by the motorway access road, and two drivers stopped to let the ambulance pass.

According to the Zug police, a driver behind them realised this too late, and crashed into the vehicle in front of her. This car was in turn pushed forward into another car.

As a result of the rear-end collision, a 54-year-old man had to be taken to hospital for medical checks. The others involved were fortunately uninjured. Two of the vehicles were no longer drivable, however, and had to be transported away.
