the chimney collapses, part of the roof of a country house falls into the street

The Bizalion crossing, which links the avenues Frédéric Mistral and Président Wilson in La Ciotat, was closed to traffic due to the collapse of a chimney onto the public highway.

The incident led the town hall to issue a danger order to the occupants of the damaged building, a document displayed at the entrance to the building located at 51, traverse Bizalion in La Ciotat.

Despite the order, the homes still appeared to be occupied on Tuesday. A construction site underway near the collapse area could be a factor to watch for in the coming days, although the exact causes of the incident are not yet clear.

Local authorities have not yet announced a date for the ferry to reopen, and the situation remains under surveillance.
