“From the very first elements of the investigation, it appears that the gendarmerie crew had decided to carry out a check on the moped rider, after noting that the vehicle's registration plate appeared to be partly obscured. » According to the prosecutor, the young driver refused to comply despite the warnings and lights activated by the police. “It was upon arriving in the village of Ploubezre, near the church, that the driver turned around and, without realizing the bend, continued straight on and ended up hitting a wall. »
The IGGN seized on instructions from the public prosecutor's office
Despite the assistance of the police and emergency services, the young driver died on the spot. “His body was transported to the Rennes Medico-Legal Institute for a complete analysis of the medical causes of death. »
The prosecutor explains that criminal investigation technicians went to the scene to make precise findings. “As it stands, no trace of impact was observed between the gendarmerie vehicle and the motorcycle,” he specifies. The 600 cc motorcycle that the young Ploubezrian was driving belonged to his family.
On instructions from the prosecution, the General Inspectorate of the National Gendarmerie (IGGN) and the Rennes research section were jointly seized of the investigation which “should make it possible to determine the exact circumstances of the occurrence of the facts”.
