“He was stuck in the car in front”: motorist sentenced in Nice for violent braking with fatal consequences

Normal slowing, sudden braking, fatal consequences. This is the situation that played out last December 16 in Nice, on the Mathis track, in a configuration that speaks to all motorists.

Antonio E. was one of them that day. He tried to kill this Tuesday in Nice, he received a 12-month suspended prison sentence.

This forty-year-old Italian, who lives in Contes, is absent from the criminal hearing. Much to the dismay of the magistrates in the civil party, who despise him “light”. Jean-Paul Robaglia’s family didn’t come either.

Simply put “because it’s very difficult it was a terrible surprise for his family.”explains their lawyer, Ms. Lola Seghboyan.

It is 5:49 pm, the day of the tragedy. There is a significant slowdown on the southern highway of the so-called expressway (west-east), at the Cimiez exit. Mercedes does emergency braking and activates her hazard lights.

A Fiat Doblo van driven by Antonio E. follows close behind. Too close. “One meter, one and a half meters”he will evaluate that person. The shock is inevitable.

Without realizing it

Behind the Fiat, Jean-Paul Robaglia, 64, reaches his Piaggio scooter. He hits the van, throws it into the air and loses consciousness. It was the driver of the Mercedes who called Antonio E. “I didn’t recognize him. I saw the man lying on the ground…”

Hospitalized in critical condition, Jean-Paul Robaglia will succumb to his injuries on January 10, 2024. This SNCF retiree, born in Algeria, leaves behind a mother, daughter and four siblings in mourning. He didn’t have to “There is no particular health problem”notes the president of the court Christian Legay.

“He stopped braking in time”

The screenings were negative for Antonio E. But he was accused of non-compliance with safety distances, lack of insurance and technical control. “He was stuck to the vehicle in front of him, It is difficult for me Seghboyan. By adopting such driving, he prevented Mr. Robaglia from braking in time, or even from seeing the warnings of the first vehicle.”

Disrespectful speed, poorly maintained vehicle: all the conditions for tragedy were present. “This procedure is an opportunity to remember, unfortunately of course, that the rules of the road code are not made to annoy users, but to protect them. “recalls Sébastien Eskandar.

The prosecutor wants 18 months in prison, with 10 of those suspended. The court will uphold a 12 month suspended sentence.
