Investigators will use video surveillance images
The police will have to understand why the boy, who was in the company of his mother and stepfather, Spanish tourists, was on the road at the time of the impact. It would appear – according to the very first elements of the investigation – that the boy was crossing in a blind spot of the vehicle. The investigators will use the various video surveillance images of the site and the vehicle, which will be assessed, then interview witnesses to the accident.
