2020 accident
After a match between Lorient and Rennes at the Stade du Moustoir on 20 December 2020, a lighting ramp fell on a groundsman. The accident occurred at 19:00 local time, right after Les Merlus had been defeated 3–0 by Les Rennais in a Derby Breton.[2] The 38-year old victim was rushed to Scorff Hospital, and was in a critical condition.[3] Working as a volunteer, the groundsman eventually died of his injuries. He was a father of three children.[4]
Two other groundskeeper volunteers were taken to the hospital due to being shocked by the accident, but were not physically injured.[5] Four other people who were also in shock made their way to the hospital themselves.[2]
