Two people were seriously injured in a road accident that occurred on Sunday evening in the commune of Puimisson, north of Béziers. Emergency services were called to the scene, and upon their arrival, one of the two men was found unconscious and trapped inside his vehicle. Firefighters from the Hérault department worked quickly to free the man, performing a vehicle extrication operation to safely remove him from the wreckage. This type of operation is often necessary when a person is stuck in a car after a crash and requires specialized tools and techniques to extract them without causing further harm. The situation was classified as an absolute emergency, prompting the rapid deployment of the Dragon 34 helicopter, a medical evacuation aircraft used in critical situations. The victim was then transported by air to a medical facility for urgent treatment. The second person involved in the accident also sustained serious injuries and was taken to the hospital by ambulance. The cause of the accident is currently under investigation by local authorities.
