It was at 7 p.m. that the first calls rang out from the emergency services. A pedestrian seemed to be wandering on the A43 motorway in the Chambéry/Lyon direction, report our colleagues from Dauphiné Libéré.
The vehicles were unable to avoid the tragedy and near La Verpillière, a person was hit and fatally injured.
Despite the intervention of firefighters, Smur de Bourgoin-Jailleu and highway police, the victim could not be saved.
Traffic remains difficult in the area.
