On Thursday, October 8, 2026, firefighters in the Doubs region responded to a traffic accident on the RD 50 in Valdahon around 7:30 pm. A vehicle had overturned, leaving the 24-year-old driver trapped and requiring rescue services to extricate them. The driver sustained serious injuries and was transported to the CHU of Besançon for medical treatment. During the operation, the road was closed in both directions, and the national gendarmerie was present at the scene to manage traffic and ensure safety. Separately, on the same day, three high school students were placed under formal investigation for their alleged involvement in the assault of a police officer linked to the student movement in Belfort. This development comes after two other individuals were already under investigation in the same case, according to the prosecution. The incident reflects ongoing tensions between students and law enforcement in the region. In Besançon, two mortar shells were fired toward emergency services on Thursday, October 8, 2026, as they responded to a traffic accident on the rue du Luxembourg. A fire truck was struck in the attack, but no injuries were reported. The municipal police and the national police were on site during the incident to assess the damage and investigate the attack. Additionally, an investigation was opened for "attempted murder" after a complaint was filed by a student arrested in Belfort against a police officer. This was reported by the prosecution of Vesoul on Wednesday, October 7, 2026, and the case was assigned to the national police inspection general (IGPN). The investigation highlights the complex and sometimes volatile interactions between law enforcement and students in the region.
