Three young people between 15 and 16 years old, two boys and a girl, were seriously injured. They were treated by firefighters and medical teams from the SMUR Draguignan emergency service.
The most seriously hurt, who suffered a spinal trauma, was evacuated by air using the Helismur helicopter from the Alpes-Maritimes.
The accident came just two weeks after a similar incident in Mougins, Alpes-Maritimes, which ended in a death. On the evening of Saturday, September 24, five young people had boarded an unlicensed vehicle designed for two occupants, sitting on each other’s knees.
The vehicle overturned during a maneuver, and one injured young person, hospitalized in serious condition, later died.
