A driver has been arrested after a British woman was killed as she went on a morning run with her husband through French wine country.
The 35-year-old was struck by a car as she ran through the eastern French town of Beaune on Tuesday.
She was jogging with her husband along the Avenue Charles-de-Gaulle, just past the Carrefour supermarket when she was knocked down, French outlet Bien Public reports.
Paramedics rushed to the scene and found her in cardiac arrest.
Tragically, she could not be resuscitated and died at the scene at just after 9am.
Her husband was not injured but was given a health check by firefighters.
A local 45-year-old man, believed to be the driver, has been arrested and remains in custody as police investigate the fatal collision.
Beaune, known as the capital of Burgundy wines, attracts around 400,000 holidaymakers each year.
The walled medieval town is renowned for its annual charity wine auction on behalf of the local hospice.
The death came days after an elderly woman was stung 25 times by a swarm of bees as locals and tourists panicked in southern France.
Local media reported that a central hotel had recently installed a beehive on its roof.
The swarm descended onto the streets after Asian hornets – the bee’s natural predator – attacked their rooftop apiary, according to FranceBleau.
The three people fighting for life are believed to have suffered allergic reactions to the bee stings.
