The duration of this intervention is not estimated, but the operator takes care of it “We apologize for the inconvenience”.
Furthermore, an agent of a subcontractor company was injured during this repair (still in progress).
In fact, an employee of a service provider was injured. He was treated by the firefighters and evacuated conscious to the university hospital of Martinique. But at this stage the causes of the accident are not known. Naturally, an investigation will be required both by us and by the police who immediately went to the scene and set up a security perimeter.
