Une militaire québécoise de haut rang, Nancy Ouellet, originaire de Cap-Saint-Ignace, dans la région de Chaudière-Appalaches, a perdu la vie accidentellement dans l’État du Nevada, aux États-Unis, il y a huit jours.
Selon des informations diffusées sur le site Web des Colorado Patriot Guard Riders, la lieutenante-colonelle Ouellet, dans la quarantaine, a été tuée dans un accident de motocyclette alors qu’elle revenait d’un voyage pour célébrer une récente promotion. «C’est une perte tragique…» a laissé tomber le lieutenant de vaisseau canadien Desmond James, joint à Colorado Springs.
Selon d’autres renseignements, la victime conduisait une Harley-Davidson et a été mêlée à une collision frontale avec un Chevy Malibu. L’accident s’est produit sur l’autoroute 93, vers 10 h 30, le 22 juin, près du Pahranagat Valley Wildlife Refuge situé à une heure trente de route au nord de Las Vegas. Le conducteur de la voiture serait à l’origine de l’accident, n’ayant pas aperçu la moto lors d’une manœuvre de dépassement d’une semi-remorque. Le véhicule et la motocyclette ont tous deux été incendiés en raison de la force de l’impact ....
This from an area Nevada paper:
An unidentified female driver of a Harley-Davidson motorcycle was killed in a head-on collision with a late Chevy Malibu, occupied by an unidentified man and woman from Washington state, around 10:30 am June 22, about four miles south of Alamo on U.S. Highway 93, near the upper lake at Pahranagat Valley Wildlife Refuge. Ages and names of the victims were not available.
The motorcycle driver only had a military ID card that was found and it did not list what town or state she was from.
Sergeant Rob Oakden of the Alamo Nevada Highway Patrol office said it appeared the northbound Washington car was attempting to pass a commercial semi-truck and did not see the on coming motorcycle. The cyclist was pronounced dead at the scene. Two Mercy Air helicopters were called in from Las Vegas to transport the man and woman to UMC Trama in Las Vegas, however, the extent of their injuries is not known.
Both of the vehicles were destroyed by fire as a result of the accident and Sgt. Oakden said both the man and woman were able to get out of the car themselves before the fire occurred.
The Pahranagat Valley Volunteer Fire Department and Pahranagat Valley Ambulance responded along with Nevada Highway Patrol and Lincoln County Sheriff’s deputies. A fatal response team from NHP in Las Vegas also came to the scene to investigate ....
