A tragic accident occurred on Thursday evening near Schieren, at the northern end of the A7 motorway. Around 6.30pm, a car travelling north crossed into the opposite lane and collided head-on with a motorcycle. The motorcyclist, a 53-year-old man from France, sustained severe injuries and succumbed to them later that evening.
