Two people died in a road accident Monday afternoon in Lantosque, in the hinterland of Nice (Alpes-Maritimes), indicates the departmental fire and rescue service (Sdis), confirming information from Nice-
Matin
.
On the road to Vésubie, a 4x4 type vehicle crashed into a ravine.
The fall was ten meters.
Quickly, the firefighters were alerted to this serious accident.
On the spot around 3 p.m., they confirmed the presence of a car below the cramped roadway because it was located in the relief of Nice.
The Civil Security Dragon 06 helicopter was hired to transport a medical team as close as possible to the victims.
Access to the area was difficult.
Once the very damaged bodywork was reached, the firefighters could only note the death of the two passengers.
At this stage, no information has been provided regarding the origin of this accident.
Several tracks will be studied: a defective vehicle, excessive driving, a collision with another car or an animal, or even a defect in the road.
Weather conditions were good on Monday, despite some gusts of wind.
The gendarmerie is on site and is taking into account the consequences of this intervention.
