Caution
To access the accident site, more than a kilometer from the roads, the rescuers had to use a lighter all-terrain vehicle, which they used to repatriate the two injured people to the emergency vehicles who transported them to the Saint-Gaudens hospital.
The Pyrenees mountain rescue services call for caution when the weather conditions are not optimal in the mountains.
