Ravine
“A car carrying five young people from the Rhône left the road and plunged about 25 meters into a ravine,” the prefecture said. According to the fire brigade, the occupants were between 17 and 20 years old.
On the same departmental road, a driver and his co-driver were killed in April 2022 during a car rally in Vernosc-lès-Annonay, in the north of the Ardèche.
