According to the Departmental Fire and Rescue Service, the tragedy occurred around 1 a.m. The firefighters had to take care of two victims, prisoners of their vehicle. Despite the intervention of the emergency services, they were declared dead at the scene of the accident. It would be a young man and a young woman.

A vehicle in the wrong direction?
According to our colleagues from the Northern voice, the accident would have been caused by a car which would have entered the wrong way on the highway, hitting head-on another vehicle, then a third was hit. It was the occupants of the reverse vehicle who were killed.
From now on, a police investigation will have to determine the exact circumstances of this terrible tragedy. Also according to our colleagues, the CRS des Quatre Cantons launched a call for witnesses to gather information on the accident. If you have any information, you can contact +33 3 20 19 49 40.
