A 52-year-old man was also injured and taken to Carpentras hospital.
Regarding the second accident, it took place in Robion and required the intervention of around ten firefighters after a car hit a tree. Seriously injured, a 40-year-old man was transported to the Cavaillon hospital center. A 9-year-old child was also in the car and was taken to the same hospital in a state of emergency. Finally, a third person was involved in an accident while trying to avoid the collision and ended up on the side of the road, but without being injured.
