On Monday March 13, 2023, a serious accident occurred. A 15-year-old girl was hit by a train arriving at Laval station in Mayenne. In a state of absolute emergency, the young girl was transported to Angers. But what happened?
A serious accident took place at Laval station this Monday, March 13, 2023. Around 2 p.m., a TGV from Paris hit a 15-year-old girl. She is in critical condition. This new train accident sadly echoes that which occurred a month earlier on a level crossing, on Monday February 13, 2023. Indeed, a car was hit by a train on a level crossing in Pas-de-Calais . The driver died instantly.
A drama that also recalls that of February 8 where a little girl lost her life under the eyes of her dad. Again, a car collided with a train on a level crossing. The shock is so brutal that the little girl was ejected from the car and lost her life, under the eyes of her father who was in another car behind. Fatal transport-related accidents are unfortunately not uncommon and always very shocking. But this one, which occurred on Monday March 13, might not be one.
