A clear sky, a new day of spring which was announced despite slightly cool temperatures in the morning... And yet, this Monday is synonymous with drama for a motorist who was traveling on the D 306 in the direction of Melun-Savigny-le-Temple .
For an undetermined reason, 500 m from the shopping area where the Grand Frais store is located in Vert-Saint-Denis, it deviated from its trajectory and violently hit a tree.
The firefighters were alerted at 9:50 a.m.
Quickly on scene, they freed the victim as the fire began to catch in his car.
In cardiorespiratory arrest, the driver received cardiac massage which, unfortunately, was not able to bring him back to life.
He was fifty years old.
A police investigation has been opened by the Melun Val de Seine urban police station.
We do not know this evening if the victim suffered from cardiac pathologies, in which case she may have felt unwell, or if her blood alcohol level was positive.
According to the prefecture of Seine-et-Marne, this is the 17th fatality on the roads of the department since January 1, 2024. From January to November 2023, 58 deaths were reported in our department.
Speed and blood alcohol levels are major factors in fatal accidents.
