A 24-year-old woman died Monday night after being ejected from a carnival at a carnival in Firminy (Loire), and another is seriously injured, we learned from firefighters.
Both victims were ejected from an attraction consisting of suspended pods and were projected about 15 meters from the arena. At the arrival of the helpers, one of them, in cardiac arrest, could not be revived, says one source. The second young woman, aged 20 and whose vital prognosis is engaged, was taken care of by Samu, added the firefighters.
The accident occurred around 22:00 at the Vogue des Nuts. We did not yet know in the night of Monday to Tuesday the exact circumstances of the tragedy. Gusts of wind could be involved. An expert must go on site Tuesday to examine the carousel.
