Double accident in Toulouse: a scooter collides with a dump truck, itself hit by a Tisséo bus
A man who was riding a scooter took risks to avoid the municipal police. Result: he collided with a dump truck, itself hit by a Tisséo bus. The driver of the two-wheeler is seriously injured in the face.
A serious road accident injured three people this Friday, around 10:30 a.m., at the Léon Lajaunie roundabout, in Toulouse. The driver of the scooter was taken care of by the emergency services and then transported to the hospital. This young man of 20 years would be seriously injured in the face. Two bus passengers were also slightly injured.
According to the first testimonies collected, an individual on a scooter would have taken fright when he saw a crew of the municipal police. And in his flight, he would have suddenly taken a roundabout in the opposite direction. Then he found himself in front of a dump truck. The driver of the heavy goods vehicle attempted a last-minute maneuver to avoid it, but the collision was violent. A few fractions of a second later, a Tisséo bus, which was driving just behind the truck, also hit the semi-trailer.
Following this double accident, witnesses warned the emergency services. The firefighters and the Smur came to the scene, accompanied by a crew of the national police. Obviously, the driver of the two-wheeler had not insured his vehicle. Maybe that’s why he wanted to flee when he saw a screen-printed car…
