A 20-year-old young man died on Saturday January 4, 2025 on the A6 in Burgundy, in an accident probably due to the disruption which crossed the north and east of France 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).
Two seriously injured
The driver of one of the vehicles, a 20-year-old young man, died, while four other people were slightly injured, including a 6-year-old child, firefighters said.
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 young man who died, two seriously injured.
End of vigilance
Météo-France ended the orange snow-ice vigilance for the entire country on Sunday morning, according to a new bulletin broadcast at 6 a.m., after the end of the freezing rains in the North-East.
“A disturbance associated with a mild air mass is sweeping the entire country, in a southwest/northeast direction. This mild air puts an end to the snow and freezing rain that required monitoring”meteorologists said.
