An agitated arm, painfully protruding from the weeds growing in the ditch. And finally, a car that stops. Sunday morning, a man injured in an accident was rescued after spending seven hours in a ditch in Finistère, reports Ouest-France.

The accident occurred in the commune of Saint-Thurien, not far from Quimperlé, on the night of Saturday to Sunday. The victim, a man in his twenties, had lost control of his vehicle a few hours earlier, finishing his race in a small ravine below the road.

Injured after having rolled over several times, the man managed to get out of his vehicle before painfully climbing back to the side of the road. He then stayed on the roadside in the cold and rain for seven hours, until a motorist spotted him.

Supported by the firefighters and the Samu, the young motorist was transported to the Scorff hospital in Lorient (Morbihan).
