A 31-year-old suspected that nothing was wrong and drove on the A13 towards St. Margrethen in neighboring Switzerland on Thursday. Near Sargans the car suddenly stopped accelerating and smoke came from the engine compartment. A little later the car no longer even had any scrap value.
The Swiss, who was driving on the highway with two colleagues, drove his vehicle onto the hard shoulder when he noticed a loss of power and smoke. All three occupants were able to get out of the car in time and were unharmed.
A short time later the vehicle was completely engulfed in flames. The Florianijunger was able to extinguish the fire quickly. The fire brigade then investigated an oil slick. The burnt out car had lost a lot before. The path stretched for several hundred meters.
Bad luck for the driver
The police, who were also deployed, conducted an alcohol test on the 31-year-old driver, which came out positive. The man will be reported to the St. Gallen public prosecutor’s office.
