Two elderly individuals were hit by a car in front of a restaurant in Menton, a coastal town in the Alpes-Maritimes department of southeastern France, on the evening of Thursday, September 10. The incident occurred during what is typically a busy time for local businesses, as the area is a popular tourist destination. The man, who was 80 years old, suffered severe injuries and was found in cardiac and respiratory arrest—meaning his heart and lungs had stopped functioning. Emergency services arrived quickly but were unable to revive him. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The woman, aged 79, was also seriously injured in the collision. She was immediately taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. The condition of the woman is not yet known, but she is reportedly receiving medical care. Authorities have launched an investigation into the accident to determine the cause and whether any traffic laws were violated. The local police are working to gather information from witnesses and reviewing any available surveillance footage to understand how the collision occurred.
