Three young people, a woman and two men in their twenties, were killed in a road accident on the Route des Pierres Blanches in Brix (Manche) on Saturday, August 9, 2025. The victims were all in the same vehicle.
Young adults died returning home after an evening
The accident occurred around 7:55 a.m. “These are locals, but they are not from the town,” a gendarme told the press. The sole vehicle involved veered off the road for an unknown reason and ended up in a garden.
“They were young people who had spent the evening with friends and were returning home. It’s a real tragedy,” said Jean Rampon, sub-prefect of Cherbourg, to AFP.
Investigation opened to determine circumstances
An investigation has been opened and entrusted to the gendarmerie to “determine the circumstances of this accident,” according to a source close to the investigation.
While some accidents have occurred on this road, the mayor of Brix, Sophie Buhot, stated that it is “not particularly accident-prone.”
