The firefighters of Saint-Jean-de-Luz and Hendaye, as well as the SMUR of Bayonne, intervened this Sunday, September 25 shortly after 6 am for a traffic accident in Saint-Jean-de-Luz. They discovered on their arrival a single vehicle, overturned on the roof, on the RD 810 at the Ahetze roundabout. They had to extricate the three occupants by cutting the sheet metal.
