A tragic accident in Paris
A terrible accident occurred on Wednesday, July 17th in the 20th arrondissement of Paris, when a car crashed into the terrace of a bar-restaurant. Unfortunately, one person lost their life in this incident, while three others are in critical condition and three are in serious condition. The six injured individuals were transported to the hospital to receive necessary treatment. The driver of the vehicle, who had tried to flee, was finally arrested. Tests revealed that he was under the influence of alcohol, leading to his placement in police custody. His passenger, apprehended earlier in the evening, also tested positive for drugs in addition to alcohol.
An ongoing investigation
An investigation has been opened by authorities to determine the circumstances of this accident. The charges retained are “involuntary manslaughter” and “involuntary injuries by the driver”. The initial elements seem to indicate that it was a tragic accident. The national anti-terrorism prosecutor quickly ruled out the terrorist track. Around twenty witnesses, deeply shocked by what they saw, were taken care of by a psychological support team to help them overcome this trauma.
