Aveyron. Two parents die in highway accident, children unharmed

Late Saturday afternoon, there was terrible drama on the A75 motorway. Two parents, a man in his forties and a woman in her fifties, were killed in a road accident at the level town of La Cavalerie, near Millau. Our colleagues at Center Presse Aveyron reported the incident to us.

While traveling on the highway towards Clermont-Ferrand, the car made a sudden exit. Two children aged 6 and 12 were in the car with their parents. They were physically uninjured. The two children were in shock and were taken to Millau, the hometown of their family.

Initial findings suggest that the car may have rolled several times before it reached the hard shoulder. It is not yet clear what caused the accident. An extensive emergency response was mobilised.

Center Presse Aveyron still states that the family had been at sea for a day and was returning home when the accident occurred.
