“Help !” He remains stuck in his accident car for three days in the middle of a heat wave

He wouldn’t have survived another day. A 26-year-old young man was found in a state of absolute emergency in a wrecked car on June 18, 2022, near a small departmental road in the Marne, reports TF1 on his site. It was three days that he was stuck in the passenger compartment of his vehicle when France knew an unprecedented heat wave for a month of June. This resident of Dormans had not given any news to his relatives since June 15.

The victim waited three days in searing heat

After trying to reach him by phone, his family decided to start a call for witnesses on social networks. The accident site was in the middle of the forest and the young man had no network to warn his relatives. Hurt, so he found himself left to himself, in the middle of a heat waveunder scorching heat. Fortunately, he had a small bottle of water with him.

But his car, badly damaged, was not really visible from the road. “The engine was twenty meters from the carcass”testifies a firefighter quoted by The union. A lumberjack, who was passing by and luckily was not driving fast, put end to the calvary of the young man. The latter explained to the regional daily that he heard the voice of a man calling “Help !”. It was there that he discovered his neighbours’ son, very badly. The firefighters took more than an hour and a half to extricate him from the car before transporting him to the hospital.
