A serious traffic accident occurred on Friday morning in eastern France, where a bus carrying children veered off the road and crashed into a tree. Initial reports indicate that two people suffered cardiac arrest, while several others were injured. The accident occurred at around 07:00 on the D22 provincial road, in the Lent area, in the Ain department, about 10 kilometers south of the city of Bourg-en-Bresse.
"The bus went off the road and hit a tree in a ditch," Mayor Yves Christin told the French News Agency (AFP), confirming that two people had suffered cardiac arrest. The Ain prefecture confirmed that there were several victims in the accident, but did not yet provide a full account of the number of injured and the condition of the people on the bus. Firefighters, medical teams, police and local authorities are at the scene. Two helicopters have also been deployed to support the intervention.
