Serious accident on New Year’s Eve: in Alsace, France, south of Strasbourg, a 25-year-old man died while shooting fireworks. A mortar of lit fireworks decapitated the man on the spot. Another man was injured.
The fireworks mortar had “torn off the head” of the young man in the municipality of Boofzheim, near the border with Germany, announced the Bas-Rhin prefecture. A 24-year-old man was also injured in the face and is in hospital.
Injured with self-made fireworks
The two men handled fireworks on the street. In fact, the sale and purchase of fireworks was prohibited throughout the month of December.
Also in Germany, a fireworks accident had fatal consequences. As “Bild” writes, a 24-year-old man from the village of Rietz-Neuendorf handles self-made fireworks. The man was mortally wounded in the explosion of the weapon.
Eight young people die in Bosnia
In Bosnia-Herzegovina, eight young people died at a New Year’s Eve party at a weekend home. The four men and women in their 20s succumbed to smoke poisoning, Croatian news agency Hina reported, citing police in the Bosnian canton of Western Herzegovina.
The eight youths reportedly retired to the weekend home at a local recreation area near Posusje in western Herzegovina to celebrate the new year.
The cause of the tragedy is still under investigation. Carbon monoxide poisoning is not uncommon in the Balkans. This can happen when highly toxic, but difficult to perceive gas flows from faulty stoves or fireplaces. This time, these private parties were organized in large numbers in Bosnia. People bypassed the blockade that the authorities had imposed due to the corona pandemic.
They find the body of a woman in Belgium
After a New Years Eve party in Belgium, which was illegal due to crown regulations, the body of a 59-year-old woman was discovered. The Belgian news agency reported this on Friday, citing the West Flanders prosecutor’s office. Several people had gathered for a celebration in an apartment in the Lede municipality between Brussels and Ghent; the prosecutor did not yet say how many participants there were. But the party was a clear violation of Corona rules.
The dead woman was found around 4 a.m., he said. The newspaper “Het Laatste Nieuws” wrote that the woman had died in an argument. However, the prosecution did not want to comment on the cause of death. (cat / SDA)
