Woman dies as car rams French farmers' roadblock

A car rammed into a roadblock put up by protesting farmers in southwestern France on Tuesday, killing a woman and seriously injuring her husband and 14-year-old daughter also stationed there. The three occupants of the car that crashed into the barrier were taken into police custody on suspicion of involuntary manslaughter, police said.
But a local prosecutor said that early results of the investigation suggested that the car had not rammed the barrier intentionally.Protesting farmers have been setting up blockades, mostly in southwestern France, to protest low food prices, higher fuel prices and environmental protection rules.
