Two French police motorcycles have crashed during a demonstration1 in front of President Emmanuel Macron and other guests at a grandiose2 Paris parade celebrating Bastille Day.
法国巴士底日在巴黎举行的盛大阅兵式上,两辆警用摩托车在总统马克龙和其他宾客前发生碰撞。
The motorcyclists were part of a group tracing patterns on the Place de la Concorde in central Paris as part of a carefully
choreographed3 performance Saturday. After
briefly4 falling down on the cobblestoned
plaza5, the motorcyclists righted the vehicles, to applause from Macron and the crowd.
Police and
gendarme6 services didn't immediately have any details on who was involved. It appeared one of the motorcyclists miscalculated the entry onto the plaza.
Later in the ceremony there was an apparent
glitch7 in the colored smoke sprayed by warplanes.
The pomp-filled Bastille Day event included thousands of soldiers and others parading down the Champs-Elysees.
