Room fills with sugar beets after truck crash A freak accident on Tuesday left the living room of a home filled with sugar beets after a truck carrying the sweet crop flipped on one side in a rural village in the canton of Zurich, police said. The accident occurred at around 11am when a 23-year-old man lost control of the truck he was driving through Schwerzenbach, northeast of Zurich, cantonal police said. For unknown reasons the driver lost control of the vehicle, pulling a trailer, on a gently sloping curve of the community's main street, police said. 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, police said. 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.
