LIVE Bad weather: Roads closed, railway lines cut, one death near Marseille...

According to the SNCF website, train traffic remains interrupted at the end of the morning between Montpellier St Roch and Nîmes Center due to significant damage to railway network installations caused by recent weather conditions.

The Marseille-Miramas line is also interrupted.

Many roads are or have been closed to traffic in Bouches-du-Rhône and neighboring departments. Particularly in the Gard where a portion of the A9 motorway, between Nîmes and Gallargues, was closed to traffic until the very end of the morning.

On the other hand and a little further west, the national road linking Martigues to Arles is closed to traffic as is the A7/A54 junction at Salon de Provence, notes Bison futé.

In the Var, several departmental roads were flooded and closed.

“In Saint-Mitre-les-Remparts, several rescues were carried out. A major search operation, notably mobilizing the Dragon 131 helicopter, was launched. Despite the rapid and coordinated action of the emergency services, the person was found dead mid-morning. The circumstances of the accident remain to be clarified,” note the Bouches-du-Rhône firefighters in a press release released at the end of the morning.
