he rolls over a young woman on the evening of the music festival
We know a little more about the circumstances of the serious accident which occurred on June 21, 2022 in the city center of Rouen (Seine-Maritime) during a 23-year-old woman was seriously injured.
It was on the evening of the music festival that the firefighters were called to take care of several people who were victims of an accident in the center of Rouen, in the middle of rue Jeanne d’Arc.
When they arrived on site, a little after 1:30 a.m., they took care of three slightly injured people, but the fourth victim, a young woman aged 23, was seriously injured. His condition requires a medical transfer to the Rouen University Hospital.
The young woman, who suffers from numerous fractures in the torso and pelvis, was first hit by a car. Then that car ran over him twice. The driver did. A police patrol appeared nearby and immediately intervened to arrest the motorist who was trying to flee.
Arrested, the driver was taken to the police station and then placed in police custody for attempted voluntary homicide. According to initial findings, he is a man in his thirties who did not have a valid driver’s license. The investigation is led by the Departmental Security of Seine-Maritime.
On June 23, and while the police custody continued, the police did not communicate on the continuation of the case.
In this accident (where the car reversed to run over the young woman a second time), three people were slightly affected. Among them came the brother of the seriously injured young woman.
This witness to the scene, and also hit by the car, explained to our colleagues from 76 Actu, that the man would have already met the young woman the day before the music festival and that a dispute would have arisen between them. And it would be necessary at the wheel of his car (which had a taxi sign on the roof) that he would have knocked down this young woman, grateful for her walking with her relatives in the rue Jeanne d’Arc.
Why was the author of this personal accident driving a taxi, without a license? Was he intoxicated? Under the influence of narcotics? Why did he want to crush this young woman like this?
So many questions which, two days after the accident, remain unanswered. Facts that the ongoing investigation will have to clarify…
