“Les Bourdes, it still steals by squadron,” said former French president Jacques Chirac. An adage that is verified with the Swiss army this week. The Grande Muette indeed records its 3rd serious accident in less than a week.
The latest was held on Friday at the Col du Simplon, in Valais. A soldier was seriously injured in the head and chest, reports several media by citing the Keystone/Ats news agency. He was injured during the reverse of a m109 armored belly who hit another vehicle, according to a statement that the army would have sent. The soldier then found himself stuck in a hatch.
On Tuesday, we remember that a Swiss soldier had been seriously touched on the legs by a military vehicle in the night, in the context of a rehearsal course of Swiss troops in Austria.
Another incident also took place this Friday also, still in the context of this exercise in Austria. A 22 -year -old Swiss soldier struck the car of a 19 -year -old woman crossing a road aboard a tank. The emergency services had to unravel the driver before helling her at the hospital. The soldier was taken care of by the army.
