He was returning from his night shift in Luxembourg. It was 5am and dusty, the night was still dark. For some reason that remains to be established, the young man’s car swerved to the left, hitting head-on a pickup truck coming in the opposite direction. The accident occurred Thursday, September 10 on the RD 918, in Metzervisse. When they arrived at the scene, the emergency services had to extricate the young driver. Seriously injured, he was transported to Thionville where a helicopter picked him up to evacuate him to Nancy.
The shock was severe, the vital prognosis of the victim is engaged. The driver of the van gets away with minor injuries; he was directed to the Bel-Air hospital in Thionville.
The news spread like wildfire in the Canner Valley where the severely injured driver is well known. 26 years old, he lives in Veckring. He is also a player, referee and coach of the U13 team at the Distroff football club.
The driver of the van must still be interviewed to direct the gendarmes on the progress of the accident. Uneasiness, loss of control, drowsiness … All the tracks remain open.
