A serious road accident occurred overnight from Saturday to Sunday in Montchanin, in Saône-et-Loire.
Five people were injured, four of them seriously after a chase.
The prognosis is vital for three of the seriously injured, reports Le journal de Saône-et-Loire.
The facts implicate a utility.
This was led by a minor.
While trying to flee from the gendarmes, the vehicle struck a tree.
According to the Creusot-infos site, the police tried to carry out a check far enough from the site of the accident.
Two of the injured were helicoptered to Dijon hospital (Côte-d'Or).
About twenty firefighters were needed to successfully extricate the victims.
They worked a good part of the night.
Le Bien public specifies for its part that only one of the five people on board the utility was of legal age.
In addition, the accident caused a certain amount of material damage on the roads.
The services of the urban community intervened.
