You were traveling between Saint Georges d’Oléron and the mainland June 15 between 9:45 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. ? The Charente-Maritime gendarmerie needs your testimony: you may have seen racing commercial vehicles pass. Their drivers are involved in a fatal accident that occurred that evening on the bridge at Île d’Oléron. A 32-year-old motorcyclist died infter being was hit head-on by one of these two vans playing at overtaking, and which swerved into its lane.
The two 20-year-old drivers were quickly arrested and placed under judicial control. Now it’s “compare the statements of the indicted with the reality of the facts” indicates the gendarmerie of Charente-Maritime within the framework of the investigation opened for aggravated manslaughter. It has footage from CCTV cameras placed on the bridge, but it misses everything that happened before the bridge and after. Hence the appeal to motorists traveling between the town of Saint Georges d’Oléron and the mainland.
