Early on Sunday morning, a 23-year-old woman drove her car onto the Appenzell Railway track in Speicher AR. The driver, who initially disappeared, became so aggressive that the police took her into custody.
Initially, the driver and a 28-year-old companion drove over the left edge of the road at around 3 a.m., according to the Appenzell-Ausserrhoden cantonal police. They then drove onto the railroad track. In an attempt to free herself, the spinning tires spun off gravel, damaging a parked car.
The police patrol reportedly found only one uninvolved person at the scene of the accident. During a manhunt, the law enforcement officers found the two people responsible for the accident a short time later. Both were unfit to drive.
Investigations at the scene showed that the 23-year-old had been driving. During the accident investigation, she behaved so aggressively and unruly that the police took her into custody. She was reported to the police and her Polish driver's license was revoked.
No one was injured. The damage to property amounted to several thousand francs. The railroad line remained undamaged. Until the car was recovered from the tracks, a rail replacement had to stand in for the first train.
