Toulouse: a cyclist seriously injured, the driver positive for cannabis
A woman who was riding a bicycle was struck Wednesday evening in Toulouse. Hospitalized, his life is no longer in danger. The driver, positive for cannabis, is still in police custody this Friday morning, November 12.
Heavy traffic, a driver in a hurry and in a few seconds, a woman riding a bicycle was violently struck Wednesday evening around 7:30 p.m. on the Ile du Ramier, in Toulouse. The driver who was in too much of a hurry dislocated to overtake, forgetting the white line on the ground and not seeing the cyclist coming in front of him.
The victim, a 30-year-old Toulouse woman, was taken care of by firefighters and a medical team from Smur 31. Medicated, suffering from multiple traumas, she was transported with a vital prognosis. Taken care of in the emergency room of the Purpan hospital, his last health check would be more reassuring and his life should no longer be in danger.
The driver of the car, a 24-year-old man, was taken into custody at the central police station. Beyond the misconduct, the first analyzes have shown that it occurs under the influence of cannabis during the accident. Thursday his custody was extended by the prosecution to allow investigators from the judicial support group to continue hearing many witnesses to the accident.
A decision on the possible prosecution should be taken this Friday afternoon by the prosecution.
