Two adults are in critical condition and six children are among those hurt in a collision between a minibus and a four-wheel drive vehicle near Albertville in France.
On Sunday an incident involving two vehicles has been reported to have crashed almost head on. The incident occurred near the town of Albertville in the Savoie region of France.
The Times newspaper reported that a 4×4 was carrying a family of five, including two children. They were on their way to the Les Arcs ski area from Geneva Airport.
The other vehicle involved was a minibus, reporting to have been transporting eleven people, including four children. They were on their way to Geneva Airport from the ski resort Courchevel and reportedly driven by a British citizen living in the French Alps.
Subsequently, 30 firefighters and two helicopters attended and the injured were taken to hospitals in Albertville, Chambéry, and Grenoble.
An investigation is now underway. However tests showed that neither driver had taken drugs or alcohol.
This has occurred during one of the busiest periods, and weekend of the ski seasons. Sunday was the final day of British school half-terms, the middle of the French school holidays and the last day of the 2023 Alpine World Championships.
