Scooter accident in Grand-Case: the absence of the accused imposes the referral of the case

0

MF, 20, was a victim of the traffic last year. In the early evening of April 29, 2019, while riding his scooter in Grand Case, he struck an EDF block against a concrete wall and succumbed to his injuries despite the intervention of the emergency services.

At the time of the facts, the gendarmes had indicated that MF had wanted to overtake a vehicle but seeing that another arrived in front, had folded on his right. He then hit the car he was passing. Unbalanced, he finished his race in the EDF block. The gendarmerie investigation made it possible to engage the responsibility of the driver of the car, CL. It would have moved to its left, hitting the scooter and would have destabilized it. She explained that she thought she had seen gravel or a hole on the lower right side of the roadway and would therefore have liked to avoid it by moving slightly to her left without seeing the young man who was overtaking her on a scooter. She is being sued for manslaughter.

She was summoned to the Saint-Martin proximity court last April, but due to confinement, the hearing was canceled and postponed to June 25. On that day, CL was absent, which prevented the court from trying her. A notice to appear had been issued or in the event of the person's absence, his trial could not take place. The court therefore postponed the case to November 26, 2020. (soualigapost.com)
