Late Monday followingnoon, a pileup took place on the A9 motorway, near Sion. The accident caused four minor injuries and caused a major traffic jam. The stranded motorists then had a big surprise: they saw a man “ride” on the highway on a skateboard, slipping between the lines of stranded vehicles…
The skateboarder was a foreigner passing through Valais, relate “The Newbie”. He probably wanted to see the extent of the traffic jam. But above all he saw the cantonal police, notes the Valais daily: he was fined a hefty sum of several hundred francs “Fortunately, that doesn’t happen often. In these kinds of situations, the police have other things to deal with,” comments Steve Léger, spokesperson for the police.
