Dangerous crossroads

The Boulay gendarmerie company is responsible for shedding light on the causes of this terrible accident. Recklessness? Failure to respect the cede-the-way? Excessive speed? Only the investigation and the testimonies will provide an answer. According to the inhabitants of Guinglange, this crossroads serving Fouligny, Elvange, Basse-Vigneulles is regularly the scene of clashes or even more serious accidents. The Departmental Council is not insensitive to it. In 2006, a vast project was undertaken to create and secure this intersection serving several municipal roads. And, last July, at the request of the mayor of Guinglange, speed limit signs to 70 km / h were planted on this stretch of road.
