The events took place in August 2024 in Nizas in a commune in Hérault. And on the A75. In a road accident, a seriously injured 20-year-old young man died four days later in a Montpellier hospital. The vehicle hit a tow truck on the highway before spinning around, hitting an SOS terminal and ending up crashing into the safety barrier.
The driver (0.28 g of alcohol in the blood at the time of the facts), even though the defendant claims against all evidence that he was not driving but was in the back, was sentenced to 44 months from prison reports the Midi libre website. And this, this Monday, January 13.
He was taken directly to Béziers prison, reports the same source, which adds that the defendant had already been convicted three times for driving under the influence of alcohol. He made no apology to the members of the victim's family, who came in large numbers to attend the trial.
