"I thought it was not going to happen." As she arrives in the middle of the road bridge of Mirepoix-sur-Tarn (Haute-Garonne), a few moments before its collapse, causing the death of at least two people, Liliane sees in the opposite direction "a little too imposing ". "I wanted to get out of the bridge before he entered," said the motorist, worried to see a heavyweight of such size engage on this road. "It was an orange truck, which in my opinion was carrying a craft," she recalls. Finally, she manages to reach the exit of the bridge when he returns. "Which makes me see nothing after," says Liliane.

"I have an incredible chance"

However, this Haute-Garonne is used to seeing such heavyweight to take this path. "Big trucks, we see when there are works, houses that are built," says Liliane. "But I do not know why this one scared me." An intuition that "a little saved" this woman. "I tell myself that I have an incredible chance, that I have a star above my head," she admits. But at the same time, Liliane can not help thinking of all the victims who have not had her reflex. "I tell myself that the others have not had my chance". Because the motorist avoided the drama of very little. "In 10 seconds, if I stopped or if I slowed down, I was with the others" in the Tarn, concludes in a breath Liliane.
