This Monday morning, a woman in her fifties was treated by emergency services in Bessières, north of Toulouse. She later succumbed to her injuries.

A terrible accident has just occurred at Bessières, north of Toulouse. This Monday morning, around 9.30am, a 54-year-old woman died, possibly crushed by her husband's utility vehicle.
The circumstances of this tragedy must be clarified. According to the testimonies, the owner of the car noticed that his van was damaged. After fixing it, this man allegedly asked his wife to turn the key in the ignition. Unfortunately, the reverse gear was engaged. The door of the vehicle hit the woman before she slid under the wheels. This lady uttered a cry of pain so loud that the neighborhood came out to meet her.
For several minutes, a neighbor and a rescuer, who were passing by, tried to get the person out from under the vehicle. “He stopped breathing when the firemen and Smur intervened on the scene,” said one of the neighbors. “Despite rapid extraction and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the victim died,” states Sdis 31.
Gendarmes from the Toulouse Saint-Michel company are on the scene. She should quickly question her husband to determine the exact causes of this tragic event.
