Yesterday I reported an accident with out mentioning names but today there is a big report in the Depeche with a picture of the car turned upside down, ready at any moment to fall in to the Aveyron. Stuart and Michaela who have a second home in Varen were on their way back to Toulouse in a hire car when just around Cazals near Penne, Stuart hit a patch of ice and lost control of the car. The car shot through bushes and down a bank and then flipped over. Stuart managed to get out and phone the Pompiers 18, but Michaela was trapped in the car with the worry that the car would slide down in to the Aveyron. It was at this time being held upside down by a bush. Pompiers and Grimpe 82 eventually released Michaela after 2 hours and she was taken to Montauban hospital with a suspected fractured leg.
All your friends here in Varen send their best wishes to you both and it will be champagne all round on your next visit - says Roger Bowen
