The road trip, which occurred on Sunday February 19 around 6:30 a.m., caused the death of a septuagenarian from Sarthe, on the departmental 743 between Niort and Parthenay. The damaged vehicle seems to be the only one involved, but the Deux-Sèvres gendarmerie is calling for witnesses to clarify the circumstances of the tragedy.
