Cyclist died at the Abrivado festival in France
An unexpected and tragic incident occurred at the traditional festival held in the city of Gar, France. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

A 52-year-old man riding a bicycle was first hit by a horse, then a bull, and finally by a car. The incident happened during the "abrivado" ceremony.

At this event, bulls run through the city streets in the southern regions, followed by horse riders. Special barriers are installed to ensure the safety of participants and spectators.

When rescuers arrived at the scene, the man was unconscious and lying with severe injuries. Despite emergency medical assistance, it was not possible to save his life.

According to the Gar gendarmerie, the man was knocked down first by the horse, then by the bull, and afterwards, while lying on the ground, was run over by a passing car. This tragedy caused great concern and sorrow among the public.

Although the traditional festival is usually a source of joy, this time the event ended in disaster. Authorities announced that an official investigation has been initiated by the prosecutor's office regarding the incident.

At the same time, safety issues at national traditional festivals have once again become a pressing matter. Thus, the "abrivado" ceremony, considered a cultural heritage in France, brought not only pleasure but also deep grief this time.

Officials plan to strengthen safety measures in the future to prevent such incidents from recurring.
