Four minor injuries and traffic disruptions on the RN20 after a collision between two vehicles in Ussat-les-Bains.
This is the third road accident in Haute Ariège and the second on the RN20 since the start of 2025. Around 9:30 a.m., this Saturday, January 4, the Departmental Fire and Rescue Service (SDIS) of Ariège was mobilized following a road accident involving two vehicles on the RN20, between Tarascon-sur-Ariège and Ussat-les-Bains, shortly after the exit from Tarascon.
The collision between the two vehicles caused a spill of diesel onto the road, creating a risk for other drivers. “The leak represented a significant risk, requiring the rapid intervention of the road services,” said Commander Marc de Nadaï.
