This was announced by a media spokesperson for the cantonal police of Uri to the Keystone-SDA news agency on request earlier on Saturday afternoon. The police spokesman went on to say that the broken-down vehicle had not affected southbound traffic. Northbound traffic was only disrupted to a minor extent.
