The son of a farmer in Brugnens borrowed an old tractor from the family farm go with two friends to tour the neighboring villages. Arriving at Cadeilhan, they take a communal road, where they engage in a steep slope. The tractor is racing, the young driver loses control, the agricultural machine climbs an embankment. Before pouring on the road. The two friends of the driver are ejected. Nicolas Carboue could not leave the driver's seat. The tractor turned on the unfortunate.

The mayor, who lives near the scene of the accident, went on site. "I came first," says Édouard Schmidt. There was nothing more to do for Nicolas … This is the kind of accident against which we try to warn our young people, to tell them that the danger is there. It's truly sad. I knew him, Nicolas: a good guy, not bad at all. He was in training to take over the family business from his father, Jean-Pierre Carboue, in Brugnens. A hardworking boy who played rugby. "The mayor immediately gave the alert, with a neighbor awakened by the noise of the tractor, then by the screams of the wounded. The other two comrades of the victim were very shocked. "They were on their feet when I arrived," says Édouard Schmidt. I had them get into my car by the time the rescue arrived. They are very morally ill. "Both spent the night in the emergency room of Auch hospital. The brigade community of Fleurance is in charge of the investigation, in order to clarify the circumstances of the tragedy. How were the three young people able to drive an agricultural machine from the 1950s over a distance of 5 or 6 km, across small country roads? "They wanted to have fun, I think," says the mayor of Cadeilhan. A small bucket was in tow, they had a garbage container on it. But we can not drive fast, with such a machine. Have they stalled to take advantage of the slope to gain speed? The front wheels, on these machines, it rattlesbale … And at the time, we did not equip the tractors with rollbars. There is not even a brake! "
