Overview
- On Thursday morning around 9:30 a.m. local time, a bus leaving Juvisy station missed a bend, struck an empty parked car and plunged into the Seine, with the trainee driver, her instructor and two passengers pulled to safety.
- Witnesses and rowing-club coaches began the rescue before divers, boats, helicopters, firefighters and police arrived in a large operation that officials said involved more than 110 personnel.
- Recovery wrapped up later that day as crews towed out the bus and car, divers confirmed no other victims and officials reported the parked car was empty.
- Police opened an investigation, a police source said the driver was taken into custody, and the regional transport authority said drug and alcohol tests for the trainee and her supervisor were negative.
- Île-de-France Mobilités asked operator Keolis to conduct an internal review, reflecting wider scrutiny of driver training and staffing pressures that could shape safety procedures across the Paris bus network.
