Strange Turn of Events: Abandoned Campervan Found Upside Down in Brittany
Authorities in western France are scrutinizing an eerie incident involving an overturned campervan found near Saint-Malo.
On Saturday, officers from the Ille et Vilaine gendarmerie were taken aback when they came across the abandoned campervan alongside the road. The vehicle had its bonnet positioned in a ditch while its back end was propped against overhead power lines, provoking curiosity among locals and police alike. Expressing concern, officials took to Facebook, extending their hopes for the well-being of the driver and any passengers who might have been involved in the strange incident.
Eyewitness accounts reported that the driver and two companions left the scene shortly after the campervan was discovered. By Sunday, the situation took a turn when the driver contacted the police to report their involvement, thankfully confirming that they had sustained no injuries. In light of the perplexing circumstances, gendarmes revealed that prosecutors had initiated an inquiry into the occurrence.
A tow truck operator who was summoned to assist with the vehicle's recovery remarked to the Ici news website, “In my 22 years on the job, I’ve never encountered anything quite like this.” The inquiry continues as law enforcement seeks clarity on how the campervan ended up in such a precarious position on that fateful day. The BBC has reached out to the Saint-Malo prosecutor's office for further insights into the investigation as it unfolds.
