Driver saved himself
Car burns to the ground on highway bridge
A nasty surprise for a driver who was driving his car on the Swiss highway near Bad Ragaz, just over the border with Vorarlberg, on Friday: flames suddenly burst out of the hood and a short time later the car was fully engulfed in flames.
On Friday evening, a 36-year-old man was driving his car from Sargans in Switzerland on the N13 highway in the direction of Bad Ragaz. Shortly before the Bad Ragaz Nord exit, he suddenly noticed smoke and consequently parked his car on the Bad Ragaz Nord highway bridge.
Car burnt out completely
Immediately afterwards, the car caught fire and eventually burnt out completely. Fortunately, the 36-year-old and his passenger were able to leave the car unharmed. The fire department quickly brought the fire under control.
Technical defect suspected
The fire could have been caused by a technical defect in the car, but the cause has not been fully clarified. The car was a total loss. In addition to patrols from the St.Gallen cantonal police, the local fire department was also deployed. The highway exit had to be temporarily closed during the extinguishing work.
