He was traveling in one of the cars involved in the serious accident which occurred Thursday evening in Val-de-Marne on an icy and snowy section of the A6B. A 46-year-old police officer died on Sunday afternoon as a result of his injuries, the Créteil prosecutor's office said on Monday.
Thirty-five other people were also injured, including four in absolute emergency, in this violent collision linked to the Caetano storm which involved a BlaBlaCar bus, four cars and a motorcycle. According to a police source, the motorcyclist's vital prognosis is still in jeopardy.
The circumstances of the accident still unclear
The investigation initially opened for unintentional injuries was reclassified as homicide and unintentional injuries, again according to this source. The circumstances of the accident, which occurred around 11:30 p.m. near L'Haÿ-les-Roses, are still unclear at this stage.
A police source indicates that a car lost control, leading to a series of collisions. The BlaBlaCar company indicates for its part that it was the motorcyclist who “lost control” first. Investigations are continuing at the CRS motorway to determine the circumstances of the accident,” declared the Créteil public prosecutor’s office.
