On Monday morning, a 36-year-old woman made at least three turning maneuvers on the A1 motorway between Niederbipp and Gunzgen and drove several kilometers on the wrong lane. The police are now looking for witnesses.
On Monday morning, a wrong-way driver was driving on the Autobahn near Niederbipp, who subsequently turned her vehicle several times on the A1.
On Monday night, shortly following midnight, a road user reported a wrong-way driver to the police. This was on the A1 motorway near Niederbipp in the wrong direction.
Several patrols from the Solothurn canton police immediately moved out to stop the wrong-way driver. “At Oberbuchsiten, the driver was found on the wrong lane in the direction of Bern,” said the Kapo. At that point in time, the driver was regarding to turn her vehicle in the middle of the freeway in order to continue driving in the correct direction.
In Egerkingen, the police were finally able to wave the driver out for a check. The woman also gave the police officers an explanation for the previous, dangerous maneuvers: “She stated that she got lost and therefore carried out several turning maneuvers,” reports the police. Finally, an alcohol test carried out on site provided another explanation: the test result was positive. The 36-year-old Swiss woman had to hand in her driving license on the spot.
