On Friday May 27, a family on bicycles was hit by a car in Sainte-Maxime. Witnesses shared the violence of the shock as well as the horror of the scene.
A serious accident has hurt a family of three cyclists including two children on Friday May 27 at Sainte-Maxime. The first people who rescued the victims were happy to talk about the scene. One of the people who helped the family victim of the accident is a Maximois holding a shop just opposite the place where the accident occurred. “I was standing outside my door when I saw bicycles flying around a car. I thought, for a moment, that they were falling out of the vehicle. And then, when the cries rang out, I understood…”, says the man who wanted to remain anonymous.
“The cyclist’s family had already been on the road for a few moments when it was hit. As for the car that knocked them over, she didn’t brake for a moment until it crashed into the car of two young English tourists which was coming opposite”, points out the man. Many witnesses rushed to help the victims. “The woman, who was the only one conscious, was screaming ”my children, my children‘‘. On the ground, the two boys were inanimate. As for the man, he was bathed in such a pool of blood that I thought he was dead”, adds the eyewitness.
“The children started screaming in pain”
Antoine and Morgane, who work in the medical analysis laboratory, also helped the victims of the accident. “We first checked they had a pulse as they were initially unconscious. The pool of blood was from rupture of the human brow bone, but he quickly regained consciousness”, they declare.
“Then the children woke up in turn. Affected in the lower and upper limbs, they then began to scream in pain. They were in so much pain that it was hard to keep them in place, and as the emergency services took 40 minutes to get there because of the traffic jams, they suffered a real martyrdom.” they add.
