Tragic event this Wednesday late afternoon in Coutiches. A 38-year-old woman died after being hit by a utility vehicle on the National Road.
This Wednesday, November 6, around 5:15 p.m., a 38-year-old woman, residing in Orchies, was hit on the National Road (D938) in Coutiches in front of the Fasquelle bakery by a Peugeot Partner vehicle, belonging to a Coutichois. The Orchies fire brigade and the Lille SMUR quickly went to the scene. They tried to resuscitate the forty-year-old. Unfortunately, she succumbed to her injuries a few minutes later. It was the mayor of Orchies, Ludovic Rohart, who had to announce the terrible news to his family. The victim had 2 daughters.
Big traffic jams on the National
This fatal accident obviously caused major traffic jams on the RD 938, which is very busy at this time of the day. The road had also been diverted at the Slosse marble factory. But this inconvenience is nothing compared to the grief in which the victim's family is plunged. This summer on the same road, a violent confrontation left 5 people injured.
