Firefighters noted 135 interventions on the roads in the area. “Emergency services were requested four times for traffic accidents. The report shows four minor injuries,” specifies the Doubs departmental fire and rescue service (Sdis 25) in a press release.
In Alliers, a driver lost control of her vehicle on a slippery road, the gendarmes said. In Aissey, a woman hit a tree on departmental road 464. Again, she was only slightly injured. She was transported to the Jean-Minjoz university hospital center (CHU) in Besançon for examinations.
