Three people were injured in an accident involving two motorcycles and a car in the Gotthardstrassentunnel. The tunnel was closed for three hours and 15 minutes in both directions, causing traffic jams of up to 14 kilometres in length at the north portal in Göschenen and up to six kilometres at the south portal in Airolo TI. At 10.30am, a motorcycle travelling south collided with a motorcycle in front of it, causing it to veer onto the opposite lane and crash into a car. The motorcyclist was seriously injured and taken to a hospital outside the canton. The two people in the car suffered minor to serious injuries and were taken to the cantonal hospital in Uri. The police estimated the damage to be 25,000 francs. Travellers had to wait for two hours and 20 minutes due to the traffic jam.nnnnnnnnnnnnnn
