A mother and her 6-year-old son were seriously injured during a pyrotechnic show organized by the city of Terville (Moselle) on the occasion of the celebrations of July 14, last Saturday.

Young woman and her child were hit by fireworks shot Saturday, July 14, in Terville. "My sister went to the fireworks of Terville with my three nephews and my brother-in-law, when suddenly a projectile hit my sister and her son," says the sister of the mother, whose child is suffering from burns at third degree.

The young woman and her child were then hospitalized in Nancy. According to the Republican Lorrain, who reports the information, the 6-year-old boy is expected to undergo a skin graft following severe burns to his calf and hands.

"In the rules of the art" [19659003] Possible judicial consequences are to be considered, even if the municipality of Terville points out gray areas regarding the responsibilities related to the accident. "We immediately checked whether the fireworks were fired according to the rules of art or if there was a problem.Security was provided, under the guise of the sub-prefecture which gave all the permissions", explains the general director of services of the commune, questioned by the Republican Lorrain. Videos, where a rocket can be seen from somewhere other than the firing point where the projectiles are thrown, cast doubt on the responsibility of the organizers. "We have different testimonies, we need to know what happened."
