the driver in court

An early summer evening, with, on the program, a trip to the fairground followed by a kebab. This June 24, 2021, a young Audunois leaves with a 14-year-old teenager to clear his mind. Alcohol is consumed, “a small bottle of vodka”, which the two, according to the major, ended up swallowing (0.65g/l of blood is detected in the defendant). It is a question, at some point of the night, of regaining one’s household. On the way back, around 1:30 a.m., the Peugeot 307 – launched at 87 km / h, according to the experts –, on a stretch of road in Tressange, not lit and limited to 70 km / h, suddenly left the bitumen. The car rolled over several times and ended its race about fifty meters further on, on the grassy verge. The passenger, who was not wearing her belt, was ejected from the cabin. Serious cranial trauma, polytrauma, memory problems and, today, long-term rehabilitation: an ITT of more than three months is prescribed to him.

During the hearing before the Thionville court on Monday, May 9, the prosecutor mentioned the young girl’s state of health, for a time placed in an artificial coma, which improved. The driver is questioned by President Rouvre, who is very inclined to inquire about the condition of the vehicle, the subject of the offence. The lights turn red when the condition of the tires (two are smooth) and the opacity of the headlights are mentioned. On the recent technical control, nothing is however mentioned, notes the defense lawyer.

The North Moselle court sentenced the driver to eighteen months in prison suspended on probation for two years, with the obligation to compensate the victim. His driver’s license was revoked. He will be able to pass it again within six months, and take the wheel again on condition that he equips his vehicle with an alcohol interlock device (EAD). Finally, he will have to pay a fine of €3,000.
