A serious multi-vehicle accident occurred on the RN141 in Châteaubernard, near Cognac, on Saturday morning. The collision involved three vehicles: a car carrying three young women and two utility vehicles.

Four people were critically injured and treated as absolute emergencies. Two young women, aged 17 and 19, were airlifted by SMUR helicopters to hospitals in Bordeaux and Poitiers. An 18-year-old woman from the same car was transported to the hospital in Angoulême, and a 68-year-old man driving one of the utility vehicles was also taken to Angoulême.
