A driver lost control of his vehicle on the Rhône A9 motorway on Thursday morning, the Valais canton police said. The car turned on its own axis shortly after entering the Saint-Maurice motorway and stopped on the shoulder.
A driver and his co-pilot stopped at the crashed vehicle to provide first aid. Since the driver was not injured in the accident, they returned to their vehicle.
Walliser dies at the crash site
At this time, two other motorists lost control of their vehicles on the icy road. One of the two assistants was hit by one of the two skidding cars on the way back to the passenger car. Despite medical help, the man died from his serious injuries at the crash site.
The deceased is a 53-year-old man from Lower Valais. The Public Ministry has started an investigation to clarify the cause of the accident. (szm)
