A strong explosion shook Meauzac (Tarn-et-Garonne), a town located northwest of Montauban, this Friday, November 29, 2024. It was around 11:30 a.m. According to our information, a resident of Chemin de Lestang was returning home by car. A few seconds after he parked his vehicle in the garage, the house was blown away by an explosion. It remains to be determined its origin. A hypothesis, which must be confirmed, is put forward: an acetylene bottle that the owner had stored at his home.
Large emergency resources were dispatched to the site by the departmental fire and rescue service (SDIS 82) and by the Castelsarrasin gendarmerie company.
At the beginning of the afternoon, the search continues to find the victim. More information to follow.
