Four people die in mountain accidents in the Alps

Terrible day in the Alps. Sunday, July 29, four people, an Italian who was climbing and three French mountaineers, died in three separate accidents in the Hautes-Alpes and Haute-Savoie.

The forty-year-old would have perished after unscrewing a hundred meters, said the gendarmes, who proceeded Sunday afternoon to hear witnesses to try to determine the exact causes of his fall.
