An accident on a motorway service area. This is what happened, this Sunday, July 17, 2022, on the Venoy Chablis motorway rest area, around 1 p.m. A car hit another vehicle, stationary, on this area in the Paris-Lyon direction. Result: five people were injured, one seriously. This is the driver of the car that was parked. He was rushed by the SMUR to CH Auxerre, according to firefighters. Four other people are affected, the driver of the car that hit the other vehicle, his two children, and the passenger of the stationary vehicle. They too were transported to Auxerre hospital.
The gendarmes favor the track of the mechanical accident
The track favored by the gendarmes is that of a speed regulator problem. The driver would not have managed to deactivate it when entering the motorway area. Tests to measure blood alcohol and drug levels must be carried out in the next few hours on the driver.
