Since the serious accident which took place on Monday June 17 on the RN145 between a heavy goods vehicle and a Dirco vehicle, the Creuse gendarmes carried out a vast control operation this Friday June 21. For its part, the Dirco gave news of the injured agent, and decided to file a complaint.
Monday June 17, one of the occupants of a vehicle from the Central-West Interdepartmental Roads Directorate (Dirco) was treated in an absolute emergency after an accident that occurred near the Espérance area. While the latter was patrolling on the right, two heavy goods vehicles began to overtake him. But the second had not shifted sufficiently and had hit the van, causing it to spin across the road, until it came to rest against the central barrier.
