In the resulting collision, the pedestrian was able to push herself away from the car with both hands, and fell backwards to the ground. She was slightly injured.

After initial medical care by the Zug Ambulance Service, the woman was driven to the hospital. Her husband, who was walking directly behind her, was unharmed.

Cham: Rear-end collision in after-work traffic
There was a rear-end collision on the Sinserstrasse in Cham. Fortunately, no-one was injured.

The accident occurred on Wednesday (2 June 2021), shortly before 17:00, on the Sinserstrasse in Cham. A 36-year-old man was driving from Sins in the direction of Cham,  and wanted to turn left into the driveway of the petrol station. He had to brake due to oncoming traffic, and a 36-year-old man driving behind him noticed this too late and crashed into the rear of his vehicle.

None of the involved persons suffered any injuries, but the impact caused significant damage to both vehicles, amounting to several tens of thousands of francs. The two vehicles had to be towed away by a private towing service. As the cars had lost fluids, the road maintenance service had to clean the roadway, and this led to traffic jams in the evening traffic. The roadway in the direction of Cham had to be closed for a short time.

Employees of a private towing company, the road maintenance service and the Zug police were deployed for the incident.
