On site, the firefighters of the Dinaphi area deployed major resources to rescue the young people: a pumper, a beaconing vehicle, two ambulances and two SMURs. The Bra-sur-Lienne helicopter was also called upon to evacuate one of the more seriously injured occupants of the car. He was rushed to hospital.

The traffic police marked out a security perimeter and completely closed the motorway ramp.
