Excessive speed?
According to witnesses, the state of the car, reduced to a pile of metal, would seem to suggest excessive speed. To confirm or deny this hypothesis, the men from the Thionville police station, still at the scene of the tragedy this morning, have opened an investigation to determine the exact circumstances of this doubly fatal accident.
As in any accident, the investigations will then inevitably examine the classic risk factors by questioning the trio of alcohol, narcotics and telephone.
