Toulouse: at 100 km / h carried out by the police, he hits two cars in front of a school
Pursued by the police, a man caused a spectacular accident Tuesday evening in front of a school in Toulouse. He was arrested with his passenger. Narcotics, money and a weapon were discovered. A witness tells.
“I was leaving my store. It must have been around 7:40 p.m. I heard police car sirens in the distance and, there, I saw a BMW pull up at full speed on Avenue Camille-Pujol. The driver was driving, I don’t know, maybe 100 km/h! He wanted to overtake but cars are coming in front. “School. An infernal, frightening crash”.
24 hours after the accident which occurred in front of the Jean-Chaubet school, avenue Camille-Pujol in Toulouse, Julius admits to being in shock. “It was frightening. The police arrived with several cars. They pulled the passenger out, screaming, gun in hand. This woman did not understand in place, did not listen to anything. The driver was also extracted from the vehicle, he seemed calmer. He waited, handcuffed on the sidewalk. I was especially worried about the lady driving the car that had just been hit…”
A woman and her daughter were in this Peugeot 3008. “The young girl, a teenager, found refuge at the bus stop, dazed, very shocked. Her mother was still in the car. I tried to talk to her, to reassure her. She complained of her shoulder. She was especially very shocked. Her car was maddening. It was destroyed, good for the breakage…”
Julius, the florist in the avenue, hopes “that they will get better”. “It’s going so fast. And then it would have happened 2 hours earlier, in front of the school, it was carnage. People are crazy.”
Drugs, money and a gun
The 23-year-old driver and his 26-year-old passenger were taken into custody at the Toulouse central police station. “Many investigations are still in progress. The police custody measures should be extended by the prosecution”, confided this Wednesday afternoon the spokeswoman for the Toulouse police.
This car was spotted by police on Tuesday from the Right Bank anti-crime brigade because it was driving very fast in the center of Toulouse at the end of the day. After several traffic offenses, the police wanted to intercept the driver but the latter accelerated again, taking more risks until the accident, the consequences of which could be more dramatic.
Beyond traffic offenses, and driving without a license, the driver and his passenger must explain themselves to the police officers of the Right Bank judicial support group on other offenses. They probably explain their attempt to escape. Indeed, the drug, several hundred grams of cannabis, was discovered in the BMW but also by lack of cash and an approved handgun.
