法国东部安省消息,当地时间 11 月 6 日(周五)上午约 7 时 30 分,一辆载有学生的地区客车在安省朗镇附近 D22 省道上冲出路面、撞上路边沟渠中的一棵树,造成 2 人死亡、16 人受伤,其中 4 人伤势严重。
这辆客车当时正从里昂开往布雷斯地区布尔格,车上共有 49 名乘客,包括 23 名未成年人。死者为一名 7 岁女童(波斯尼亚籍)与一名 18 岁男子,法国交通部长菲利普·塔巴罗到现场后确认了两名死者的身份。16 名伤者中,3 人伤势严重,其中 2 人仍有生命危险。(早先省政府通报为车上 43 人、15 名儿童、16 人受伤,检察官办公室下午更新为上述数字。)
安省省长路易-格扎维耶·蒂罗德对 BFM 电视台说,对司机进行的初步血液检测未发现酒精或毒品痕迹。布雷斯地区布尔格检察官办公室已就涉嫌交通肇事致死与交通肇事致人重伤立案调查。检察官卡琳·马拉拉说,司机在首次讯问中表示,事发前自己可能打了个盹,随后车辆穿越路面、醒来时已在路的另一侧;司机腿部受伤,正在住院。朗镇镇长伊夫·克里斯坦对媒体说,客车“冲出路面,撞上了沟渠里的一棵树”,事发时路面有些湿滑、没有雾。
法国总理塞巴斯蒂安·勒科尔尼与总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙分别向遇难者家属与伤者表示慰问。法国教育部长爱德华·热弗雷早些时候说,车上学生正前往当地中学与高中上学。
School Bus Crashes Into Tree in Eastern France, Killing 2 and Injuring 16, Including a 7-Year-Old Girl
LENT, France — A regional bus carrying students crashed in eastern France on Friday morning, killing two people, including a 7-year-old girl, and injuring 16 others, four of them seriously.
The bus was traveling from Lyon to Bourg-en-Bresse when it left the D22 road at the entrance to the town of Lent, in the Ain department, at about 7:30 a.m. local time, and struck a tree in a roadside ditch. The bus was carrying 49 passengers, including 23 minors, according to the Bourg-en-Bresse prosecutor's office. The two people killed were a 7-year-old girl, a Bosnian national, and an 18-year-old man, Transport Minister Philippe Tabarot confirmed after visiting the scene. Of the 16 injured, four were in serious condition, two with their lives still at risk. (An earlier prefecture briefing had put the figures at 43 passengers, 15 children and 16 injured; the prosecutor's office updated them in the afternoon.)
Ain prefect Louis-Xavier Thirode told broadcaster BFM that preliminary blood tests on the bus driver found no traces of alcohol or drugs. The prosecutor's office has opened an investigation into suspected road homicide and aggravated road traffic injuries. Prosecutor Karine Malara said the driver told investigators in his first interview that he may have fallen asleep before the bus crossed the road and that he woke up on the other side; the driver was hospitalised with leg injuries. Lent Mayor Yves Cristin told French media that the bus "left the road and hit a tree in the ditch," adding that the road was a little wet and there was no fog.
Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu and President Emmanuel Macron expressed their thoughts to the victims' families and the injured. Education Minister Édouard Geffray said earlier that students aboard were traveling to middle and high schools in the area.
