This terrible accident was on Saunday, 22th of July 2007, something about 9:30 next to the Vazille and Grenoble ( South-West France ). Coach transport 50 people ( 47 pilgrims, pilot and 2 drivers ) when they came back from The Blessed Virgin Sanctuary in La Salette where is uplainds teretory so, when bus ride by steep bend coach fell down off the bridge ( 15 meter ) to the valley of Romanche river and next bus burst into flames. Road when this accident is very dangerous. People called it Napoleon's road. Here can't ride coaches which haven't got special permission and brake system. Polish bus haven't got these things.

Pilgrimage in which take part 26 people from Starogard Szczeciński, 12 from Świnoujście, 5 from Szczecin, 2 from Mieszkowice and 2 from Warszawa ( Warsaw ) start from Poland on 10th of July 2007 to the christian saint places for example to the Fatima and Lourdes.

In this accident died 26 people and 24 people were injured.

In the same place, where this accident happened were many catastrophes. In one died 77 people. When calculate all people who died there we can be shocked, because there died 224 people. Maybe this road is unlucky?
