The vehicle was “driven by a Georgian national born in 1983 in an irregular situation on the national territory, not holding a driving license”, added the magistrate, specifying that the driver’s “alcohol and drug tests were negative”.
The child, transported in absolute emergency to the university hospital, died after futile attempts at resuscitation.
