Big fear, this Tuesday morning, for the motorists who circulated on the Francilienne at the level of Brie-Comte-Robert.
Especially those who went from south to north.
Around 10:15 am, they saw with horror a woman step over the railing of the bridge and jump onto the N 104. Miraculously, all the drivers who were passing by at that time managed to avoid the unfortunate woman.
The victim, a 65-year-old woman living in the area, was nevertheless seriously injured and she was transported under escort to the Parisian hospital of La Pitié-Salpêtrière.
According to the highway police, his vital prognosis was involved at the time of his transport.
The reasons for her action are still unknown but, according to CRS Est-Ile-de-France, eyewitnesses to the accident are unanimous in saying that she acted alone and that she voluntarily jumped on the asphalt.
A traffic jam of 10 kilometers in the south-north direction
Very quickly, the police intervened to secure the premises and allow the emergency services to take care of the sexagenarian.
On this portion of the Francilienne, the road has two lanes which had to be completely cut for a quarter of an hour, then partially until traffic was gradually restored around 11:30 am.
In the meantime, the accident caused serious traffic jams.
In the Melun-Pontault, 10 kilometers of traffic jams have been identified.
But the traffic was also disrupted in the other direction of traffic due to the "curiosity" effect, frequent in this type of case.
