This Tuesday afternoon, around 3 p.m., a spectacular accident occurred on the D437 departmental road, at the entrance to the commune of Fins, in the direction of Morteau, rue Principale.
The load of stones spills onto the roadway
A truck from an earthmoving company in Noël-Cerneux, in the process of unloading its load of stones intended for renovation work on an old building, overturned while it was lifting its skip. The entire heavy goods vehicle, tractor and tipper included, tipped onto its side, spilling its load onto the road and sidewalk and burying a mini-excavator parked nearby.

No injuries
Luckily, the truck driver and his colleagues on the site were not injured. In order to secure the area, the police immediately stopped traffic on this busy route and set up a diversion via rue de la Diligence.
The evacuation of the truck and the rubble mobilized significant resources, delaying the return to normal.
