This Wednesday, July 21, the Thionville judicial court sentenced the driver who fatally hit a 22-year-old young woman riding a scooter in Thionville to a 2-year suspended sentence last January. During the trial, the driver, in his 50s, confirmed that that night he was trying out a car he intended to acquire, an electric sedan that produced more than 400 horsepower. After having tested it for a good half an hour, the defendant said he was surprised by the recovery of the vehicle when he began a turn in a roundabout. Speed retained by the experts: around 90 km / h, instead of the regulatory 50 km / h. No avoidance or braking maneuvers were observed on the scene. The victim was then on a pedestrian crossing. His body was thrown a hundred yards from the shock. At the stand, the mis en cause, whose license was canceled, maintained that he had seen nothing in his field of vision before the fatal collision. The referral hearing on civil interests, scheduled for next November, will determine the amount of damages intended for the family of the deceased.
