Accident mortel en Ardèche : plusieurs témoins signalent une vitesse excessive
Au lendemain du terrible accident qui a coûté la vie à cinq jeunes personnes en Ardèche, vendredi 1er mai, les circonstances du drame se précisent. Les victimes étaient originaires du Rhône, et étaient venues passer quelques jours de vacances entre amis.

Au fond du ravin, à côté du reste de débris, quelques fleurs blanches ont été déposées. Plus haut sur la route, à l’endroit où la voiture a basculé dans le vide, des habitants se recueillent dans l’après-midi du samedi 2 mai, tous encore très choqués par le drame. «Ma fille a 20 ans, elle en a 17, donc ce sont les âges concernés«, s’émeut une femme.
Des marques orange montrent la trajectoire du véhicule. À bord se trouvaient quatre garçons et une fille, âgés de 17 à 19 ans. À l’approche d’un virage, la voiture a continué tout droit, chuté de 25 mètres et pris feu. Les cinq occupants seront retrouvés décédés. Des amis, qui suivaient dans une deuxième voiture, ont donné l’alerte.
Tous circulaient sur cette petite départementale sinueuse descendant la vallée de la Cance, une route connue par les habitués du secteur pour sa dangerosité. «Très étroite, donc roulez doucement, parce que la sortie de route, elle ne pardonne pas», commente un motard. «C’est une route que nous, cyclistes, on prend plutôt en montée et très peu en descente. After experiencing it once going downhill, I said, «I will never do it downhill again because it is too dangerous,» added a cyclist.
According to the Prosecutor’s Office of Privas (Ardèche), several testimonies mention excessive speed. A team from France Télévisions was able to speak by phone with the mother of one of the young victims. The group of friends had come to spend two days in Ardèche. At the time of the accident, they were looking for a place to swim. They were all from the Lyon region.
«A group of friends who regularly gathered, who, from what I know, had known each other for a long time, and whose simple goal was to have a good time together. And who were tragically mowed down, while they had their whole lives ahead of them. They were really very, very good young people,» described Françoise Gherbezza, the mayor (SE) of Pusignan (Rhône). An investigation has been opened, with forensic investigations and toxicological analyses underway.
The day after the tragic accident that claimed the lives of five young people in Ardèche on Friday, May 1st, the circumstances of the tragedy are becoming clearer. The victims were from the Rhône region and had come to spend a few days of vacation with friends.
At the bottom of the ravine, next to the rest of the debris, a few white flowers have been laid. Further up the road, where the car tipped over the edge, residents gather in the afternoon of Saturday, May 2nd, all still very shocked by the tragedy. «My daughter is 20, she is 17, so those are the ages concerned,» a woman exclaimed.
Orange marks show the trajectory of the vehicle. Inside were four boys and a girl, aged 17 to 19. Approaching a curve, the car continued straight, fell 25 meters, and caught fire. The five occupants were found dead. Friends who were following in a second car raised the alarm.
They were all traveling on this winding little departmental road descending the Cance Valley, a road known to locals for its dangerousness. «Very narrow, so drive slowly, because the road doesn’t forgive a mistake,» commented a motorcyclist. «It’s a road that we, cyclists, usually take uphill and very rarely downhill. After doing it once downhill, I said, ‘I will never do it downhill again because it is too dangerous,’ added a cyclist.
