An unusual reckless driving incident caused a stir in Menziken, Aargau, on Monday afternoon. A 49-year-old female driver collided with a streetlight and several parked vehicles before passersby intervened and stopped her from continuing her reckless drive.
According to the Aargau cantonal police, the first reports of a single-vehicle accident came in shortly before noon. Based on current information, the woman was initially sitting on the road without any clothes on.
Shortly thereafter, she got back into her car and continued driving. On the main road, she first crashed into a streetlight. She then veered into oncoming traffic and collided with several parked vehicles.
