Wednesday evening, firefighters intervened on a farm in Louvroil, near Maubeuge, in the North. A 67-year-old woman had just fallen into a manure pit, we learned from SDIS du Nord.
It is not known under what circumstances the accident occurred. Still, shortly before 7 p.m., the Avesnois firefighters, supported by a specialized team from the Grimp, were called after the fall of several meters of a sexagenarian in a tank used to store manure.
A fall of four meters
To get the victim out of this mess, the emergency services used specific equipment, the pit being four meters deep. In his misfortune, the victim was lucky since the meter of slurry that was at the bottom of the tank cushioned his fall.
Conscious, but seriously injured, she was medicated on the spot before being transported to the Maubeuge hospital center.
