    "There is only one death, a priori the driver of the car, three serious injuries and 17 minor injuries," said a spokesman for the prefecture, returning to a previous "temporary balance of three people who died."

    Horrible news. I wonder if the driver had a heart attack or something - I'm not sure how else he could miss the bend.
    I blew my front tyre on that corner once - I was glad of the run off there.

    I hope all the injured recover quickly. A sad end to their season.
