Corsica: two people died in their car near Porto-Vecchio after heavy rains

While the Isle of Beauty has been in the grip of very violent bad weather for more than 24 hours, a vehicle was swept away by the waves, causing the death of two people. According to the prefecture, it was around 1 a.m., in the night between November 5 and 6, on the RT10 between Porto-Vecchio and Bonifacio, that the events took place.

The vehicle was carrying three people. One of them, a 40-year-old woman, “managed to escape and was rescued by the SIS and evacuated by helicopter to the Porto-Vecchio clinic”. The two other passengers were later found dead inside the vehicle.

“A terrible tragedy”
