Thionville. Road exit on the A31: the helicopter victim

A car on the side, almost on the side after several rollovers. This morning, shortly before 8 am, the A31, an axis very frequented by border workers was the scene of a violent road accident.

A car traveling in the Metz-Luxembourg direction suddenly left the road at kilometer point 338.4, near the Thionville village-district of Elange. If the origin of the accident remains to be determined, the vehicle would have headed for the emergency lane at a location not equipped with guardrails. It was then that he would have done several barrels before finding himself practically on the roof.

It seems that the driver, a woman in her fifties, was still conscious at the time of the arrival of the Thionville firefighters who proceeded to her extrication. His injuries were deemed sufficiently serious for an evacuation by helicopter to Nancy to be necessary. The victim was evacuated around 10 a.m.
