Miscellaneous facts. ATV accident in Affléville: the pilot died

Sébastien Colombo, helicoptered to Nancy on Saturday with a vital prognosis, succumbed to his injuries. Aged in his thirties, married and father of a little boy, he died a few hours later at the Central Hospital of Nancy. He was the victim of a terrible quad bike accident.

The drama began at the beginning of the afternoon on November 7, in the village of Affléville (Pays-Haut Meurthe-et-Mosellan, in Piennese country) where he lived.

He was quad biking on a private plot. Suddenly, for some unknown reason, the craft and its pilot left the meadow, crossed a small street and hit a stone wall opposite. The shock was violent. Especially since the thirty-something did not wear a helmet. “The investigation will now focus on the search for the causes of death”, indicated Sunday evening Catherine Galen, the prosecutor of Val de Briey.

A second drama in two years

What are the circumstances that led to the tragedy? The gendarmes of the Audun-le-Roman brigade community are responsible for answering this painful question.

For Mayor Patrick Martin, it is in any case “a terrible twist of fate. The second in two years ”. In September 2018, a 17-year-old Afflévillois died after falling from a trailer. He too had been shot in the head.
