For reasons that are still unknown, a car driver collided with the central barrier and a car on the A1 towards Zurich. One person was seriously injured.
The A1 motorway between Wettingen-Ost AG and Dietikon ZH was temporarily closed in both directions on Wednesday morning after an accident. The reason was a car accident with a follow-up collision in the Zurich lane.
In the 9:50 am crash at Spreitenbach AG, a 72-year-old passenger was seriously injured, according to Aargau canton police. A rescue helicopter took the man to hospital. The road had to be closed so that the helicopter could land.
The man was sitting in the car of a 72-year-old driver. It had collided with the central barrier for reasons still unknown. When the driver wanted to put his car back into traffic, a 41-year-old driver hit the woman’s car with his vehicle.
According to the cantonal police, property damage of several thousand francs resulted in the accident. The Baden prosecutor opened a criminal investigation. He asked the two drivers for a blood sample. They had to hand over the driver’s license to the withdrawal authorities.
The accident on the A1 caused traffic jams and delays. The lost time for road users amounts to one hour.
