On Saturday, September 12, 2026, a traffic accident involving three vehicles occurred in Eschenz (canton of Thurgau). A 63-year-old car driver began overtaking a motorhome (Wohnmobil) on a slight left curve in a forested area. This resulted in a side collision with the motorhome and a head-on collision with an oncoming car driven by a 41-year-old man.
The oncoming car overturned and came to rest on its roof on the roadside. The 41-year-old driver and his 35-year-old passenger sustained minor injuries and were taken to hospital. The 63-year-old driver was deemed unfit to drive, had his license confiscated, and was sent for urine and blood tests. Property damage is estimated at several tens of thousands of francs.
