Drama during an urban motorcycle rodeo in Bassens, near Bordeaux (Gironde), Sunday evening. An 18-year-old woman was killed in a violent collision between two dirt bikes. She was a passenger on one of the motorcycles and was not wearing a helmet, according to a source close to the case, confirming information from France Blue. Two young men aged 19 were seriously injured.
This fatal accident took place around 7 p.m. on Boulevard de l'Industrie, in the industrial zone of this town of 8,000 inhabitants. The victims were part of a motorized gathering. The two young men were each riding a motocross bike reported stolen, according to the same source. In circumstances which remain to be clarified, they collided.
When help arrived, the young woman was already dead. The two young men were treated and transported to Pellegrin hospital in Bordeaux in a state of absolute emergency. The police carried out investigations at the scene of the tragedy. An investigation was opened and entrusted to the territorial crime division (DCT).

And we cannot resolve the problem”regrets the councilor, specifying that he has issued a municipal decree prohibiting the circulation of two-wheelers on weekends on this axis.
