Haute-Loire. Alcohol, wrong traffic on the RN88, accident: the total for the 20-year-old driver

This is a man who will have to answer for his actions in court soon. And for good reason! This 20-year-old driver allegedly committed several crimes during the night from Friday to Saturday before (and after!) being the victim of a road accident in Monistrol-sur-Loire, in the company of thirty year, obviously. drinking friend

The violent movement happened around midnight on the Pont-de-Lignon road after the Villettes roundabout, which required the intervention of the emergency services and transport to the hospital. of the two occupants in an Audi A3.

His parents’ car

It all started, according to the first elements gathered by the gendarmes, with a meeting in a bar between the two young men. “They would have consumed a lot of alcohol,” the gendarmerie explained later.

Then go to Pont-de-Lignon, at full speed and in any way: the two, 20 young men at the wheel, took the RN88 in the wrong direction! An unconscious action, not the first or the last for this driver, who “borrowed” his parents’ German sedan, forgetting to tell them of course … the police.

The rest is known: at the beginning of the descent, after the roundabout going to Les Villettes, a series of small turns, a speed that is far too high… And bam! Broken property wall. The vehicle does not stop there and ends up traveling more than twenty meters further in a house hedge while the residents are on their land!

The intervention of the police on the journey with the firefighters

The property tax is heavy in the buildings concerned, the driver’s parents’ car is a wreck, but the evening is not over. The two young people are saved and if the passenger is transported to the Firminy hospital center to be examined, his driver partner needs more attention.

Initially unconscious, he was eventually taken to the Northern Hospital for further investigations. He was evacuated in an ambulance because he was “too agitated”, according to the gendarmes, to be removed.

Consent withdrawn

The whole? Not yet ! The person will not settle during the journey where he must be under the control of the police to prevent him from attacking the firefighters!

While he awaits a possible lawsuit, and perhaps others being learned through the investigation, his license has already been revoked.

An abandoned car on the safety rail of the RN88 right next to it

Shortly after the accident that occurred on the exit from Pont-de-Lignon to Monistrol-sur-Loire during the night from Friday to Saturday, the gendarmes were contacted by a team of patrol from the Massif Central Interregional Highways Directorate.

It was almost 1 o’clock when the officers found, a few hundred meters away, a Peugeot 206 going over the safety rail of the access ramp to the RN88 from Grangevalat, towards Saint-Etienne.

The vehicle was empty but its owner, who we can imagine had fled the scene, was quickly identified.

This 18-year-old man lives in Retournac and has to explain to the police what his car was doing here, in this situation and where he was. The Fauvet garage in Saint-Pal-de-Mons drew the 206.
