A 40-something man killed himself by falling from his scooterSunday afternoon in Drancy (
Seine-Saint-Denis), an accident that could be linked to gusts of wind due to the Ciara storm, we learned from a police source.
At around 4:00 p.m. the man on a scooter fell and “hit the ground hard,” the source said. He suffered a “head shock,” she added.
Gusts exceeding 100 km / h inland
The circumstances of the accident remains to be determined, but the hypothesis of a strong gust which would have brought it down is being considered by the emergency services having noted the death on the spot, according to this source.
In total, 42 departments, including those of Ile-de-France, have been placed on the alert orange “strong winds” by Météo-France, which reports gusts exceeding 100 km / h inland and up to 130 km / h on the coast.
