A motorbike passes under the finish line banner, which has ’arrivee’ on it. Down the road, a car approaches and skids into the crowd. A wheel comes off and a body is throw across the road. The crowd surge forward and the wreck of the car is seen resting against a tree. The gendarmes shoo the people away. Note: Amazing on the spot footage - as the crash victim escaped harm.
