Shortly before 6:30 p.m. this Saturday, June 15, firefighters were called to intervene after two vehicles collided at an intersection near the Cavalier district, in Chaumont.
It was at the intersection of rue Robespierre and rue du Val-Barizien in Chaumont that the firefighters were called this Saturday, June 15, shortly before 6:30 p.m.
Under the command of Chief Warrant Officer Emmanuel Guillaume, six sappers were dispatched, equipped with a road safety vehicle and a victim assistance and rescue vehicle.
Only the investigation by the police officers, who were present on the scene, will be able to establish the circumstances of the accident.
It appears that a driver was stopped at the stop sign on rue Robespierre, and that he started again without seeing the driver of the other vehicle involved in the accident, who was coming from his left.
The collision appears to have occurred with low kinetics.
After being assessed by the firefighters, the octogenarian driver had to be transported to the Chaumont hospital center to carry out additional examinations. His passenger remained under assessment.
During the emergency response, traffic on the portion of rue Robespierre near the intersection was blocked.
