Earlier in June, a more serious accident in western France claimed the lives of four people and left nine seriously injured. That crash involved a bus carrying Ukrainian students home from a school exchange trip.
French officials said the bus overturned near the town of Degre in the Sarthe region, about 230 kilometers southwest of Paris. The Ukrainian Embassy confirmed that the group included teenagers aged 15 to 17.
Ukraine’s Ambassador to France, Vadym Omelchenko, described the crash as “very, very sudden.” President Volodymyr Zelensky later confirmed that three of the four victims were Ukrainian citizens and said two others remained in critical condition. He thanked French authorities for their swift response.
French Labor Minister Astrid Panosyan-Bouvet added that 18 additional passengers sustained minor injuries.
