Sunday evening, the firefighters intervened for a traffic accident which occurred in the town of Toufflers, near Roubaix, in the North.
Except that the person found in the accident car gave the rescuers a disturbing story.
Roubaix emergency services were required for an ordinary intervention, around 9:45 p.m.
When they arrived on the scene, a slightly injured woman was alone in her vehicle and no other car was involved.
At least at first glance.
The victim's partner was kidnapped
Firefighters took the victim to their ambulance for a medical check-up.
When they questioned her about the circumstances of the accident, the woman explained that she was in fact in the car with her companion when another vehicle hit them.
Once stopped, the occupants of the other car kidnapped his companion before fleeing in their car.
The victim was finally taken to the Roubaix hospital center.
An investigation has been opened.
