An investigation is opened in "search for the causes of death". But the dramatic scenario of the accident that occurred Saturday night near Cannes, and which claimed the life of a 25-year-old woman, already seems to be taking shape. While travelling on the TGV 6163 which was travelling between Paris and Nice, the passenger found herself hooked to the outside of the train.

She remained there, probably at the back of the wagon, several kilometers before letting go at the Trayas, where her body was found on the tracks, we learned from concordant sources, confirming information from Nice-Matin.

She missed the start in Saint-Raphael-Valescure

The victim would have got out of his car in Saint-Raphael-Valescure station (Var), where he would have missed the restart. That's when she would have tried everything to get back on board. In vain. The emergency services could only note his death.

Investigations are underway to try to establish the circumstances of this accident and possibly responsibilities, under the supervision of the Draguignan prosecutor's office. According to the regional daily, relatives of the young woman have filed a complaint for "manslaughter".
