The emergency call center in the canton of St. Gallen received several reports on Sunday afternoon that a man was at the motorway entrance in Au SG. At the point in question, the A13 runs under the motorway entrance, which is located on a bridge. A little further north, the tracks are united.
When the first patrol arrived, the man was seriously injured on the A13 carriageway. He fell off the bridge but was not hit by any car. Despite immediate help from the ambulance service and Rega, the man died on the spot, as if from one Message from the St. Gallen canton police emerges.
He was traveling alone
The reasons for the fall from the bridge are unclear. “The man was alone on the motorway entrance,” says canton police spokesman Markus Rutz when asked by Blick.
Specialists from the St. Gallen canton police are now investigating the exact background and the course of the drama under the direction of the public prosecutor’s office. A report by the Institute for Forensic Medicine is intended to clarify unanswered questions. The formal identification of the man is still pending.
The A13 motorway was closed for around three hours at the Au junction. The traffic was diverted. (noo)
