questions about a drama

Two teenagers who died while riding a scooter. What happened on Monday August 22 in Lyon (Rhône), around 6:30 p.m., when an ambulance hit them on a bus lane? According to the first elements of the investigation, the emergency vehicle was in intervention mandated by the Samu, and therefore authorized to circulate on the bus lane. Witnesses, however, evoke a traffic at high speed.

Did the ambulance use its sound and light warning devices? The testimonies are contradictory. As for the driver, he had not consumed alcohol. However, he has a heavy history, with numerous traffic offenses, including a license withdrawal. His management assures that she was unaware that he was traveling with a probationary certificate.

In shock, he was taken into custody. According to police sources, the scooter may also have swerved. It can be used by one person at a time, without having to wear a helmet, on roads where cohabitation between vehicles is sometimes difficult. The identity of the two victims, aged 15 and 17, has not been released.
