According to the BSPP, 84 firefighters and 24 engines responded to the accident, working until 2:30 a.m.
This event is “directly linked to the degraded weather conditions following the passage of the Caetano storm”, added this police source.
No deaths to report
According to the company BlaBlaCar, 37 people were on board the bus which was traveling towards Brest (Finistère). The company chartered a coach to repatriate these passengers to the departure station and an emergency number was also set up to answer questions.
Among our colleagues at BFMTV this Friday morning, the Minister of Transport, François Durovray, indicated “unless I am mistaken” that there were no deaths to report in the accident.
