The Melun criminal court on Wednesday sentenced comedian Pierre Palmade to five years in prison, including two years, with a deferred committal warrant, for the serious road accident he caused while under the influence of drugs.

“We are really like zombies, vegetables, naked, bloody,” he described to the judges on Wednesday. Dozed by 3-MMC, he “wakes up” again with new doses of cocaine to get behind the wheel. And it was on a road in the south of the Seine-et-Marne department, southeast of Paris, that his car collided head-on with the victims’ vehicle coming in front.

The accident left three people from the same family seriously injured: a 38-year-old man, his six-year-old son and his 27-year-old sister-in-law, who lost the baby she was expecting. “I understand their anger. A crazy drug addict crashed into them, it’s almost inexcusable,” conceded on Wednesday the comedian, who has become a showbiz pariah since the revelation to the general public of his dark dating problems. ‘addictions.
