A young man aged 22 lost his life in a road accident on Wednesday November 27 in Gard. A 57-year-old person was also seriously injured in another accident.
The firefighters of Gard (Occitanie) were in great demand this Wednesday, November 27. Three major interventions mobilized their teams in different municipalities in the department during the day, with heavy tolls, including a tragic death and several injuries.
A fatal accident in Les Angles
In Les Angles in the evening, a traffic accident involving a light vehicle claimed the life of a 22-year-old man. Despite the rapid intervention of firefighters supported by a SMUR team from Avignon, the victim could not be saved. The exact circumstances of the accident have not yet been clarified, but this tragedy once again highlights the seriousness of road accidents.
Collision between a cyclo and a bicycle in Molières-Cavaillac
Also in the evening, in Molières-Cavaillac, an accident involving a moped and a bicycle caused two injuries. A young man of 20, slightly injured, was treated and transported to the Ganges clinic. The second injured person, a seriously injured 56-year-old man, was airlifted urgently to the Montpellier University Hospital by the civil security helicopter.
Carbon monoxide poisoning in Roquemaure
Finally, in Roquemaure, during the day, a faulty heating appliance caused carbon monoxide poisoning in two occupants of a home. The victims were transported to the Urbain V clinic in Avignon to receive the necessary care. Firefighters also treated eight other people living in adjoining housing. After medical evaluation, their condition did not require hospitalization.
These events remind us of the importance of vigilance on the road and regular checks of heating appliances during this winter period.
