Drama on the A4: 78-year-old and passenger in the event of an accident!

Küssnacht, Schweiz - A serious accident occurred on Saturday afternoon, July 12, 2025, on the A4 motorway between Küssnacht (SZ) and the Rütihof branch in Rotkreuz. According to nau.ch there was a serious incident around 2:15 p.m. when a car got off the road for still unclear reasons and crashed into a concrete element. The vehicle then overturned and landed on the roof.

Although the exact cause of the accident is currently the subject of investigations, it is already known that the two occupants did not have an easy time. A 78-year-old driver and an 84-year-old passenger suffered considerable injuries and were trapped in the vehicle. The local base fire brigade Küssnacht and the Rescue Service Zug were quickly on hand and ensured the salvation of the two. After the first medical care, they were immediately admitted to an extra -cantonal hospital.

The effects of the accident were not to be underestimated. The A4 had to be closed during the rescue, accident recording and the subsequent clean -up work. This measure led to a significant traffic jam, which is why the TCS (Touring Club Switzerland) recommended a detour via the A2. In addition, a lane in the opposite direction was also blocked for safety reasons, as was reported by watson.ch
