Deadly accident
On the RN 3, near Latour-en-Woëvre, a young driver from the Paris region died charred in his car. The vehicle burst into flames after colliding with a tractor-trailer. The road made slippery by the rain seems to be at the origin of this tragedy. The firefighters of Fresnes-en-Woëvre extinguished the fire and extracted the body of the motorist, as for the truck, it had to be raised thanks to the intervention of the Cao d’Étain garage.
