Due to a breakdown, the BMW came to a standstill on the Limmat viaduct of the A1 near Wettingen shortly before 5:30 a.m. on Friday, January 17, 2025. The car stood unlit on the narrow hard shoulder and protruded slightly into the road. A truck approached from behind, the driver of which noticed the obstacle too late. As a result, he hit it with full force.
Fortunately, because the four occupants were outside the car, they were uninjured. All that remained of the BMW, which was thrown onto the road, was a demolished wreck. The truck was also badly damaged.
As a result of the accident, two of the three lanes in the direction of Zurich were blocked. As rush hour traffic began, a backlog immediately formed and grew to a length of up to eight kilometers. The scene of the accident was cleared by 7:30 a.m. The traffic situation has now returned to normal.
