Placement under judicial supervision required
His referral is part of the opening of a judicial investigation into involuntary manslaughter with deliberate breach of a safety obligation by not respecting priority for a pedestrian on a pedestrian crossing. The prosecution has requested that the suspect be placed under judicial supervision.
After the accident, the driver first stopped to call for help, explaining that he could not remain at the scene for fear of being attacked by the crowd.
As a result, he left the scene before being arrested in the commune of La Roquette-sur-Siagne, where he was waiting in front of his home.
