Risk-taking and carelessness. Wednesday December 18, 2024, at 7:45 a.m., police officers on patrol at rue Léon-Salva in Sotteville-lès-Rouen (Seine-Maritime) go to check the driver of a Peugeot.

The officers ask the motorist to pull over. He seems to accept at first, but he accelerates at the last moment and refuses control. The police go after him.

The driver takes all the risks

To escape the police, the driver “takes risks” as our police source relates. “He goes through a stop sign without stopping and turns off his headlights. He drives at 100 km/h in the city and brushes against a cyclist who is forced to move onto the sidewalk,” continues our source.

The police will eventually find the crazy motorist rue du Hameau des Brouettes. Stopped in his vehicle, he was recognized by the police and arrested. Aged 24 and not having a driving license, the driver from Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray is placed in police custody.
