An extremely violent frontal impact, an Audi A3 which hits head-on a bus which is coming in front after a dangerous overtaking: the accident which occurred in Chars, Wednesday at 2.30 p.m., had dramatic consequences.
A one-year-old girl died in the accident.
Her older brother, who is three years old, was seriously injured.
As for their mother, who was driving the car, also seriously injured, her vital prognosis was still engaged on Wednesday evening.
When the emergency services arrived on the spot, the three occupants of the Audi A3 were incarcerated in the passenger compartment of the car, trapped in the sheets of the car.
The firefighters intervened in large numbers to get the victims out and take care of them.
Unfortunately, the little girl could not be saved.
His brother was evacuated in absolute urgency to Pontoise hospital first, then to Necker hospital in Paris.
A dangerous overtaking maneuver
Their mother, who was driving and who is 33 years old, was for her part helicoptered to the Beaujon hospital, in Clichy (Hauts-de-Seine), also in absolute emergency.
She was always in the evening between life and death.
The driver of the bus, for his part, came out of the accident almost unscathed and was taken by the emergency services relating to the Pontoise hospital center.
Nineteen firefighters were engaged in the intervention which lasted four hours, as well as the medical teams of Samu 95.
According to the first elements collected, the mother at the wheel of the A3 carried out an overtaking maneuver while driving on the D 915, between Tanks and Marines.
She found herself facing a Transdev bus, despite the headlight calls that the latter made to warn her.
The clash proved inevitable.
