A van was heading down towards Albertville at 12:31 p.m. on Friday, June 3. It tried to avoid a motorcyclist going up the wrong direction. The van was hit at its left front lights and the motorcyclist failed to get up.
“The other bikers that accompanied him didn’t speak French.” The group of Italians from Beaufort was going to Bourg-SaintMaurice.
It was a former volunteer firefighter who tried to reach the emergency services but was unsuccessful due to a lack of network. He was heading to the CAF refuge and managed to alert Beaufort firefighters around 1 p.m. At 1:23 p.m., the Beaufort firefighters arrived on the scene.
A biker would have to only complain about a bill at the level the left leg.
