Room filled with sugar beet after truck crash

A freak accident left the living room of a home filled with sugar beet after a truck carrying the sweet crop flipped on one side in a rural village in the canton of Zurich, Switzerland.



The accident occurred at around 11am on Tuesday when the 23-year-old driver lost control of the truck he was driving through Schwerzenbach, northeast of Zurich.



For unknown reasons the driver lost control of the vehicle, pulling a trailer, on a gently sloping curve of the community’s main street. The truck slammed up against the wall of an apartment building, disgorging its load into a ground-floor suite and the front yard.



The driver suffered minor injuries and was taken to hospital by ambulance after managing to clamber out of the cab unaided. No-one in the building was injured but the crash caused considerable damage. The truck itself was a write-off, while a structural engineer was hired to assess the damage to the dwellings. The village’s main street was temporarily closed as a result of the accident.
