This Sunday morning, the driver of a car drove into the crowd who had gathered to attend the collection of Gilles, during the carnival of Strépy-Bracquegnies. The family of Freddy Tougaux (David Greuse of his real name) is directly affected by this tragedy since his nephew and his niece are seriously injured. The comedian testifies and underlines the work of the emergency services.
Freddy Tougaux and his wife were on the front line this Sunday: his wife’s home – located in the rue du drama – was requisitioned as an advanced medical post. So, what remains of the images of this tragic day?
Everything was done very efficiently
“Apart from horror, sadness, etc. I want to keep a more positive image: that is to say that once we arrived on the scene, an hour later, there were all the teams that were in place. I found that everything was already well organized, in a kind of calm, efficiency and humanity that were reassuring in such chaos.“, he confides.
Freddy Tougaux therefore underlines the work of the emergency services. “When you get beyond the police cordon, everything was done in a super efficient way in this advanced post-medical place“, he adds.
