This Saturday morning, around 6:45 a.m., a vehicle arriving from Belgium collided with a car coming from Orchies and turning towards Cysoing. The driver did not mark the stop sign “stop” and he entered the crossroads of the D938.
French and Belgian relief
A very important device of firefighters (in particular from Orchies), ambulances, and the French gendarmerie went on the spot. The Belgian police and ambulances of the kingdom lent them a hand. There are five wounded, all men. Four are slightly affected but a fifth is in serious condition.
They were referred to hospitals in France and Belgium. Traffic was temporarily banned at this important crossroads, just opposite the small customs office in Bercu, Mouchin in France, at the foot of the Le Coin Gourmand restaurant.
