Roquebrune road closed due to accident, passengers flee scene

Sunday morning around 7 am in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, the driver of a silver Clio lost control of the vehicle and smashed into a wall on Notre Dame de Bon Voyage. The car was heading towards Monaco having just passed the 4 Chemins roundabout.

After initial impact, one person escaped through the passenger side window. He immediately tried to help the other passenger out of the smashed wreckage. The second passenger exited the car, either through the same window or the hatchback, where he lay on the ground for a few seconds before the two made a run for it on foot.

The two young men wearing shorts and short sleeve shirts ran up the road 200 meters before escaping down the stairs “Escaliers de Bon Voyage” which lead to avenue Jean Jaurès. They are at the moment at large.

The road reopened to traffic at 9:15 am after emergency services investigated the scene and removed the debris.
