It was around 7:15 p.m., Wednesday October 30, 2024, when the accident occurred, in Saint-Briac-sur-Mer (Ille-et-Vilaine). While driving his convertible, a motorist suddenly saw a fire break out in the passenger compartment. Alone in the vehicle, he managed to get out very quickly, before calling for help.
Quickly arriving on site, near the Cap-Horniers school, the Dinard firefighters were able to bring the fire under control. “After hearing loud bangs, probably the tires exploding, I got out quickly. I then saw the flames, it was impressive! “, says Didier Graser, local resident and municipal councilor.
It remained to remove the wreckage and evacuate the scene, before traffic resumed. This very busy street was closed to access until 8:30 p.m. The technical services cleaned the road first thing on Thursday.
