On the morning of Sunday February 11, a traffic accident involving a gendarmerie truck and a vehicle occurred on the RN7, near Orient Bay.

An investigation is underway after the accident which occurred on Sunday morning,  not far from the Rancho restaurant between a police truck and a vehicle. According to the first observations made on site, it seems that the driver of the truck wanted to avoid a stopped bus, and faced with the ineffectiveness of his braking, he then swerved to finally hit another vehicle arriving in reverse. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
