In Altdorf UR there was a curious traffic accident.
Someone miscalculated: On Monday, a car with an Uri license plate drove into the narrow Stoffelgasse at the Gründligasse / Stoffelgasse junction in Altdorf UR, according to the Uri cantonal police. Then the driver (81) got stuck with his vehicle.
He was given initial care on site by third parties, including doctors in civilian clothes who were present. The rescue service called Uri examined the driver, who was not injured in the accident. Since the vehicle had wedged itself between the walls, the salvage was difficult and time-consuming.
The material damage to the vehicle, the wall and the adjacent meadowland, which was affected by the salvage of the passenger car, cannot be quantified at the moment. (chs)
