A new collision between two vehicles took place this Friday evening around 9 p.m. on the D930 (Bapaume-Cambrai) in the town of Beugny.

Despite the intervention of the emergency services, the driver of one of the cars did not survive the violence of the impact. She died on the spot. Aged 38, the driver of the utility was sent to nearby emergencies at the University Hospital of Cambrai. His vital prognosis is not engaged.

During the time of the intervention, part of the axis was cut and the road was diverted. An investigation is currently underway to determine the exact circumstances of the accident.

This is not the first accident of its kind on the Bapaume-Cambrai axis. Last October, two cars collided, just days after the start of work to renovate the road. The victims had to be extricated.

At the beginning of May, four people lost their lives in another frontal impact on the A1 motorway near Izel-lès-Equerchins. A few days later, it was the turn of a motorhome to collide with a car in the wrong direction on the A16 motorway between Berck and Le Touquet.

Since the resumption of activities following the various health measures, road accidents have increased compared to 2021. In April 2022, a 29% increase was observed compared to the same month of the previous year.
