Un enfant de 4 ans a été percuté par la voiture électrique d’un facteur à Merten, près de Metz en Moselle, rapporte, samedi 21 juillet, France Bleu Lorraine Nord. L’accident a eu lieu vendredi matin. Le garçon est mort sur place malgré l’intervention des secours sous les yeux de son grand frère de 7 ans extrêmement choqué et pris en charge par les secours.
A four year old child was struck by a Marten’s post-man’s electric vehicle, near Metz in the Moselle (Dept 57, NE France, close to the Luxembourg/German border) on Saturday 21 July. The boy died at the scene despite the intervention of the local emergency services. His seven year old brother witnessed the accident and was in a state of shock while he was being attended to by the ambulance personnel.
Le chauffeur faisait une manœuvre. The driver was manoeuvering at the time.
Le drame a eu lieu dans l’impasse où habitait la victime. Le facteur, qui avait terminé sa tournée, a heurté l’enfant avec l’arrière de sa voiture alors qu’il était en train de faire demi-tour. Le véhicule, électrique, faisait beaucoup moins de bruit qu’une voiture traditionnelle. The drama took place in a laneway where the boy lived. The postman, who had finished his shift, hit the child with the rear of the car while he was making a turn. The electric car makes a lot less noise than a traditional vehicle.
Le facteur, peu connu des habitants, était arrivé depuis peu dans la commune en remplacement de l’ancienne factrice mutée. Les analyses ont confirmé qu’il n’avait consommé ni alcool, ni stupéfiant, indique encore France Bleu Lorraine Nord. Une enquête a été ouverte pour homicide involontaire à l’occasion de la conduite d’un véhicule. The postman, little known to the locals, arrived in the community as a replacement to the transferred former postwoman. The investigation confirmed he had not consumed alcohol or drugs. An enquiry was opened into involuntary homicide while driving a car.

2016) all were published in the Wicklow Times and ensured the survivors of the crash, all French Girl Guides, were not forgotten. Articles reproduced on this website.
But mostly this site gives a more general European and specific French slant on popular and not so popular articles of French news, translated to English by the author. Each article is translated on a paragraph by paragraph basis so easy to read in either language and even possible to improve either language by comparison of the short English and French paragraphs. Amusez vous bien.
The author is currently writing an easy to read technical aviation book centered around the Fokker 50.
Another interest is that dealt with in another of Bill's websites www.realnamara.net, a Statue of the mother of God, Mary. It was erected in 1972 in Dublin, at the end of the Bull Wall near Clontarf, and my grandfather William Nelson, was the main instigator of that project. I give talks on the history of the statue and my grandfather's adventurous and dangerous life at sea.
