A serious road accident occurred around 12:45 p.m. on Wednesday July 19. A car and a heavy goods vehicle collided in a frontal impact on the D23, in Évry, between Cuy and Gisy-les-Nobles.
The driver of the light vehicle died. It would be Corentin Nicolas, a 23-year-old young man living in Sergines, according to Mayor André Pitou. “He is a young man from the town whom we knew well, he grew up here and his parents still live in the village.
