The sad law of the series continues for the pilots of two-wheelers in Saint-Martin with a new fatal accident to deplore Monday around 16 p.m. in Grand-Case.
In the space of two weeks, three people traveling on scooters or motorbikes were killed. Three dramas that have plunged entire families into indescribable and infinite sadness.
After the fatal accident that occurred on the night of May 14 to 15 where a young pilot in his twenties died of his injuries, a mother of a 7-year-old girl lost her life on Sunday May 22. , shortly after midnight, still on a scooter during a collision with a motorcycle in Bellevue.
This sad toll unfortunately worsened on Monday around 16 p.m. during a new fatal traffic accident involving a scooter and two light vehicles in Grand-Case. The gendarmerie provides details as to the course of the drama. “A minibus wants to make a U-turn on the RN7 and is taking advantage of a widening of the lane and signage allowing the crossing of the line, to make a U-turn. He does not perceive in his rear view mirror the TMAX arriving at very high speed (testimonials). The latter hits the back of the minibus and comes to finish its race against a car arriving in the opposite direction. The motorcyclist was not wearing any security element and died a few minutes later. He was 29 years old and originally from Martinique.
Behind the abominable count of these young mown lives, there are parents, brothers, sisters, grandparents broken by mourning.
The gendarmes recalled it only a few days ago: “Injury accidents and fatal accidents are still too often the result of dangerous behavior on the part of two-wheeler pilots (speeds excessive or not adapted to the circumstances, non- wearing a helmet, dangerous manoeuvres, using a mobile phone, consumption of alcohol and narcotics, etc.). It is clear that risky behavior remains too largely customary in the territory. On the side of the authorities, it is high time to sound the alarm. The road kills in Saint-Martin. Too much ! _AF
