Lepuix. Tour de France spectator taken to hospital after spending the night outside

He is likely to remember this Tour de France 2022. This Saturday, a 71-year-old man was transported to the Nord Franche-Comté hospital by firefighters from the Giromagny barracks. The day before, he had attended the climb of the Planche-des-Belles-Filles starting from Lepuix on foot. It was on the return trip from his hike that he broke his leg while slipping. Alone, he spent the night in the woods before being found by hikers the next morning. They are the ones who alerted the firefighters at 12:30 p.m. The emergency services came to rescue the injured person using a 4×4 equipped with a stretcher.

For this intervention, an VLHR (Off-Road Liaison Vehicle), a VSAV and a KLS were required.
