“I saw her jumping and was carried by the current, so I threw myself into the water.”
Licio, 16 years old.
Lisieux, 16, was riding a motorcycle on the bridge that spans the Petit Rhone River in Fork when he saw a little girl climbing over the railing to jump into the water. “I saw the girl hesitating, so I said to her:”No, don’t do that, no! His friends, if they could be called friends, encouraged him to do so with their insistence“, says the young man. With the strong current and the vortex, Lisieux tried to bend it, but nothing worked.”I saw her jump and the current carried her away immediately. So I threw myself into the water, just like Hasad did, and we both cooperated and got her out of there…“, declares the trainee matador.
Hassad, 27 years old, was returning to his home in Forkes on a motorcycle when people stopped him. “Someone told me: There is a girl drowning. I did not hesitate for a moment and jumped off the bridge to help him at the same time as Lisieux crossed the dam.“, details the young hero.
