Luynes driver inflicts knife wounds on self after drunk crash

A terrifying scene unfolded near Luynes along the Loire River during the night of November 7 to Sunday, August 8, when a vehicle accident involving two men in their twenties turned into an act of auto-aggression. According to police reports and passenger accounts, both individuals were intoxicated before losing control of their car on road M952, which struck the shoulder and tipped onto the riverbank where it became immobilized near Luynes within the Tours metropolitan area.

The driver exited the vehicle armed with a knife and inflicted multiple self-inflicted wounds to his torso. The passenger was unable to intervene in time due to shock and remained inside or nearby at the scene of this horror movie-like incident, which has been confirmed by local authorities as an act of white weapon auto-mutilation.

Emergency services arrived to find both occupants unconscious or severely traumatized; they were transported together to Trousseau Hospital in Chambray-lès-Tours. The driver's life is currently at risk due to serious injuries sustained from the knife attacks, while his exact number remains unknown as an investigation continues.
