The results are dramatic. Four young people aged 17 to 20 died during the night from Saturday to Sunday in a road accident in Libourne (Gironde), we learned from the prosecution. Another young person who was also in the vehicle was also seriously injured. The circumstances of the accident which occurred around 2:30 a.m. on the department road D1089 are currently “uncertain and ambiguous”, according to a press release from Philippe Buisson, mayor of Libourne, posted on Facebook.
According to South West, the driver lost control of his vehicle which ended up in a tree. “The violence of the shock was such that I am going to mobilize a psychological unit for first responders from the emergency and gendarmerie services,” he declared. According to the elected official, the passengers in the car are from Coutras, a small town located about twenty kilometers northeast of Libourne.
