His car was abandoned on site, a witness recognized him, but denied any involvement in this affair. A 48 year old manheard recently by the police, is suspected of having crashed into several vehicles on the night of July 4 to 5, 2024, in Sartrouville (Yvelines). Terrible mistake or reckless driver who doesn’t take responsibility? The court will have to decide.
A local resident alerted by the noise in the street
The night of the incident, a resident went out into the street, alerted by the noise in front of his property. Once outside, he discovers a scene of chaos. His camper van and car are in a sad state. Before his eyes, the driver who has just hit them extricates himself from a carcass and runs away. The damage is estimated at €40,000.
In the hours that followed, a man presented himself to the Sartrouville police station. He is the owner of the car in question. He says that his vehicle was stolen at gunpoint shortly before this curious accident and that, therefore, he was not involved in it. “His version is questionable,” notes a police source.
The exploitation of the video surveillance allowed the route of his car to be traced that evening. And it matches perfectly with the geolocation of his cell phone. A first breach opens in his version, which completely fails when the owner of the camper van formally recognizes him as the individual who fled before his eyes.
He maintains his version until the end
After a first free hearing where he stood by his statements, the accused was reconvened and placed in custody. police custody as part of a procedure opened for “material traffic accident”, “hit and run” and “false declaration of theft”. Faced with the inconsistencies in his story, he did not change his line of defense.
This resident of Sartrouville emerged free from the police station, convocation in justice in poche.
