two seriously injured evacuated by helicopter

And road accident occurred this Tuesday morning at Boran-sur-Oise seriously injured two drivers. Fortunately, their lives are not in danger. The precise circumstances of this tragic event are the subject of a thorough investigation.

A violent impact on the D 603 road

It was an ordinary morning that turned into a tragic scene. A accident occurred on the D 603 road, near Boran-sur-Oise, a village of 2,000 inhabitants located on the edge of Val-d'Oise. Two men, aged 23 and 50, suffered serious injuries following a frontal collision. The Senlis public prosecutor's office quickly opened an investigation in order to shed light on the events leading to this shock.

First aid: rapid intervention

The accident took place shortly after 8 a.m., while a car and a small van were traveling in opposite directions on an axis limited to 80 km/h. For reasons still undetermined, one of the vehicles encroached on the other lane, creating a devastating collision where the front of both vehicles was completely deformed.

With the assistance of firefighters, one of the drivers was able to be extracted without difficulty, while the other required the use of extrication tools to free him from the wreckage of his vehicle. Although both were conscious when help arrived, their injuries were considered serious concerns.

Ongoing investigation into the causes of the accident

The two men were taken care of by Smur teams, one from Oise and the other from Val-d'Oise, before being evacuated to Parisian hospitals. One was escorted to the Pitié Salpêtrière, while the other was airlifted to the Georges Pompidou European Hospital. According to initial reports, their vital prognoses are not in jeopardy.

The state of health of the victims does not yet allow in-depth questions to be carried out. “The toxicology analyzes will take time,” said a source close to the investigation. The circumstances of the collision remain unclear: the road, between two roundabouts, is subject to overtaking bans illustrated by a white line. A situation which, normally, should not give rise to such frontal collision.

Impact on local air traffic

Due to emergency interventions, the nearby Persan-Beaumont aerodrome was temporarily neutralized for around 30 minutes to leave room for the rescue helicopter.
