A bus collided with a parked vehicle on Thursday morning, south of Paris, and then fell into the Seine, in a spectacular accident in which all four people on board the bus were saved, reports AFP.
“A bus traveling in the town of Juvisy-sur-Orge went off the road and fell into the Seine in circumstances that have not been established at this stage,” indicated the prosecutor's office in Evry, a town located south of the French capital, writes Agerpres.
According to the prosecutor's office, “the driver and three other people were on the bus.”
“All were rescued. The ongoing investigation into the allegation of involuntary bodily harm against the driver of the vehicle has been turned over” to the police, he added.
According to the prefecture, the bus pulled into its fall a “light vehicle at the level” of a quay on the banks of the Seine. According to a union source, no one was in the parked car.
Around 11:00 local time (12:00 in Romania), several vessels were sailing in the area of the accident. A drone and a helicopter were also sent.
The bus completely submerged in the river near a bridge. The car he collided with also ended up in the waters of the Seine.
According to union sources, it is a school bus, which explains the presence of so few passengers on board.
