Judging by the state of the vehicle's bodywork, the driver was lucky to be only slightly injured in this accident, which occurred Thursday, November 7 early in the morning. While traveling on the RD 855, around 7:30 a.m., the driver was unable to avoid an equine which was wandering on this section of the departmental road linking Waldwisse to Mertzig.
Slightly injured in one hand, the forty-year-old was treated by emergency services at the Bouzonville barracks and taken to Bel-Air hospital in Thionville.

Bouzonville help
Local emergency services as well as those from Sierck-les-Bains were also dispatched to the scene. As for the horse, which had escaped a few hours earlier from the German equestrian center of Biringen which was ravaged by a fire around 4 a.m., it unfortunately died.
During the night, emergency services from Bouzonville came to lend a hand to their German counterparts by providing them with a van to supply them with water in the fight against the fire.
