Four Rescued After Bus Falls Into Seine at Juvisy‑sur‑Orge

Overview

• The city bus, which left the Juvisy station area Thursday around 9:30 a.m., hit a parked car on quai Jean‑Pierre Timbaud and plunged into the Seine with four people aboard.
• Two rowing instructors and a barge resident pulled people from the water within minutes, and firefighters, police, divers, boats, a drone and a helicopter then secured the scene.
• Prosecutors opened a criminal investigation for involuntary injuries and placed the trainee driver in custody, while alcohol and drug tests for her and her supervisor came back negative.
• Recovery crews lifted the submerged bus with cranes after the car was removed earlier, and pollution barriers were deployed on the river as authorities checked for environmental risks.
• Several bus lines that serve Juvisy station remain on diversion until further notice, and the operator’s internal review could drive changes to training on live routes.
