An elderly motorist died in Geneva yesterday afternoon – and police are asking for witnesses.
The 79-year-old was on the Route du Mandement heading towards Meyrin when he lost control, hit the central reservation, and ended up in a field.
The man died at the scene. It’s the tenth death on Geneva roads this year.
Anyone with any information is being asked to contact the police.
