This Monday, the trial of the Millas drama resumes.
An absentee is however very noticed: Nadine, the driver of the bus hit by the TER in December 2017. Victim of a crying fit last Thursday, she suffers from broken heart syndrome according to her lawyer.
A syndrome that mainly affects postmenopausal women in a situation of great stress.
At the trial of the drama of Millas, an absentee is to be noted.
Nadine, the driver of the bus hit by a TER in 2017, will not be able to attend the hearing which is diverted to Marseille.
During her interrogation last week, after a fit of tears, the driver had to be evacuated by the fire brigade.
She was transferred to intensive care this weekend because of her heart attack.
No doubt for Nadine's lawyer, his client suffers from broken heart syndrome.
A syndrome "for which we have no explanation", recognizes Marc Villaceque.
"The only points we can look at is that it mainly concerns postmenopausal women who are under significant stress, such as an argument with their spouse or a problem at their job."

“Fifteen days to a month off”
A particularly important syndrome that can cause cardiac arrest and which is not to be taken lightly, underlines Marc Villaceque.
"The risk of sudden death is reduced for the driver since the care is immediate. The heart muscle will recover fairly quickly. However, the person will need rest to fully recover from the accident. Generally, it is at least fifteen days to a month off work."
An important point which underlines that the driver of the school bus will no longer be present at the hearings until the end of the trial of this disaster which, on December 14, 2017, had left six dead and 17 injured.
