A hailstorm near Figeac causes death

A fierce storm with hailstones / l'orage de grêle  at Figeac yesterday caused a 86 year old man to lose control of his car and plunge into a valley hitting a tree, killing him.
Val says  Sometimes these sudden storms are so fierce. I usually pull in to the side of the road in these sort of conditions, but that does not stop someone running into the back of you, if they also cannot see. A couple of years ago with a car full of friends we drove into such a storm. One friend on arriving home had 9 windows broken with the storm.
