He fell on the road at nearly 90 km / h.

A man is between life and death after having jumped from a moving ambulance this Wednesday at Claye-Souilly.

It is around 2:45 p.m. when this man who was transported to the Grand Hospital de l'Est Ile-de-France (Ghef) in Meaux aboard an ambulance traveling in the direction of Paris-Meaux, begins to fight with the only caregiver present with him in the back of the ambulance.

A caregiver drawn into the fall

The patient, who is not hindered, manages to open the rear door of the vehicle and falls on the track, causing the ambulance driver to fall.

The latter sees his fall cushioned by the struggling patient.

Fortunately, once they fell on the road, they were not struck by the vehicles following them.

After a few minutes, help arrived on site and cut off traffic on the N3 towards Meaux, before it was also closed in the opposite direction to allow a helicopter to land.

Seriously injured after his fall on the road, the patient was helicoptered to Henri-Mondor hospital in Créteil (Val-de-Marne) with a vital prognosis.

Suffering from a broken ankle, the ambulance driver he dragged into his fall was transported to the Grand Hospital de l'Est Île-de-France (Ghef) in Meaux.

According to the first elements of the investigation, entrusted to the police station of Chelles-Villeparisis, the patient who caused this fall suffered from psychiatric disorders.

While accidents like this are not frequent, this is not the first time that a passenger has been seriously injured by falling from a moving vehicle.

In 2018, a man was seriously injured falling from the hood of a moving car in Donnemarie-Dontilly.
