Just a few hours earlier, shortly before 11:15 pm on Monday night, a driver on the Artherstrasse in Walchwil lost control of his vehicle and crashed head-on into a retaining wall. The car came to a stop in the road, heavily damaged.

The 63-year-old driver escaped unharmed, according to the report on Wednesday from the Zug Police. The vehicle was a total write-off.

The two accidents will now be investigated further by the Zug Prosecution Services (Staatsanwaltschaft).
