First license withdrawn in 2019 for speeding, multiple traffic violations, only two points remaining on his current license… The paramedic placed in police custody, after the death of two minors in an accident, has antecedents that work against it.
From the violent accident that claimed the lives of two teenagers aged 15 and 17 riding a scooter on Monday August 22 in Lyon, only a few traces remain, and flowers left by passers-by in tribute. They were killed following a collision with a private ambulance in a bus lane. “I heard a huge boom and saw an ambulance stopped, a scooter behind and a kick scooter on the ground“, testifies a local resident. The rescuers, who arrived very quickly on the spot, took turns to perform cardiac massages on the young minors, in vain. “They put time and energy into it.“, underlines a witness, present at the time of the tragedy.
The driver was taken to hospital in shock and taken into custody. The beginnings of the investigation focus on his profile. He lost his license for excessive speeding in 2019, and was known to police for numerous traffic violations. A heavy liability that does not condemn him for all that. Investigators must clarify the circumstances of the accident, in particular with the help of CCTV cameras, to find out if his responsibility is engaged in the tragedy that occurred on Monday.
