A terrible event occurred this Tuesday, January 14 in a company located in Belleville-sur-Meuse, a town bordering Verdun. A man lost his life while working in a car scrapyard.
According to the information in our possession, the man, aged 66, was working under a car when the device intended to lift the vehicle and hold it in place stopped performing its mission.
Did this device break? Did he slip? Is it an accident, as the first findings suggest, or should we take another route? Investigations carried out by law enforcement will determine this.

The owner of the scrapyard did not survive his injuries
The consequences were disastrous for the sixty-year-old, who found himself trapped under the vehicle.
Alerted around 4:40 p.m., the Verdun firefighters and the Smur from the Cité de la Paix hospital center quickly went to the scene. But, despite the resources deployed and the efforts of the rescuers, it was not possible to save the Meusien. This is the owner of the car scrapyard, an experienced man, in the business for many years.
If the public prosecutor Delphine Moncuit does not provide any details on the circumstances of this death, she confirms that an investigation led by the Verdun police station has been opened to investigate the causes of the death.
