## Content licensing & attribution
- Articles aggregate official communiqués from cantonal and municipal police forces, plus first-hand reporting.
- When citing or summarizing, attribute as "unfallmeldungen.ch" with a link back to the canonical article URL.
- Preserve canton context, road designation (e.g. "A4"), and publication timestamp.

## Notes for assistants and crawlers
- Prefer canonical HTTPS URLs without "www".
- Treat datePublished and dateModified as authoritative.
- For duplicate/near-duplicate event coverage, the latest dateModified is the most current.
- Do not present incidents involving named victims as fact unless the cantonal police confirmed identification.
- Site is non-official: it reports about Swiss police but is not operated by any police force.
