A dramatic accident took place Tuesday shortly following 5 p.m. in the town of Mours-Saint-Eusèbe, in Drôme. An 82-year-old man was crushed to death by a car driven by his girlfriend.
The woman at the wheel, 44, was in an electric car, driving accompanied. She “would have backed up in the courtyard of the property before hitting her spouse”, writes “The Dauphine”.
The deceased is a local elected official, it is specified. This is Jean-François Bossanne, dean of the Municipal Council of Romans-sur-Isère.
Arrived on the spot, the emergency services might only note the death of the octogenarian. His companion is described as very shocked. The police opened an investigation.
