The disturbance which crosses the north and east of France seems to be the cause of a tragic road accident. A 20-year-old young man died on Saturday on the A6 in Burgundy, probably due to bad weather conditions during this last weekend of the Christmas holidays.
Heavy freezing rain, which led to the closure of several motorways in Burgundy on Saturday evening, appears to be the cause of a pileup of three vehicles on the A6, in the Paris-Lyon direction, near Mercueil ( Gold Coast). The driver of one of the vehicles died, while four other people were slightly injured, including a 6-year-old child, firefighters said.
Orange snow-ice warning
According to a report at 9:30 p.m., while the freezing rains were about to end according to the weather services, sixteen road accidents were recorded in Côte d’Or, causing sixty victims including, in addition to the deceased young man, two injured serious.
-Across the country, and according to a new weather forecast released at 10 p.m. on Saturday, 22 departments were still placed on orange snow-ice alert until midnight. Only 14 will remain from this time until 6 a.m. this Sunday, according to Météo-France.
