What exactly happened that night from Friday to Saturday, around 2 a.m. on rue de Fontenoille in Sainte-Cécile (Florenville)? A straight road. A young driver lost control of the Citroën Berlingo he was driving and undoubtedly as a result of excessive speed, the vehicle hit and crashed into an Ores pole along the road (see our photo).
He takes his parents’ car when they are away
According to our information, the young driver, only 14 years old (born in 2010), took advantage of his parents’ absence last night (who went away for the weekend or on vacation) to seize their car and take three other young people from the region in this night outing. This young 14-year-old driver is injured, but will survive.
On the other hand, his right front passenger, aged 18 and very seriously injured, is currently in intensive care at Arlon hospital. His days are endangered. Placed in the rear of the vehicle, a 23-year-old young man, as well as a 13-year-old girl, were also injured, but their lives are not in danger.
Police officers from the Gaume police zone came to make observations on site. Firefighters and ambulances from the Florenville and Bertrix emergency services also intervened. The Luxembourg public prosecutor’s office sent an automobile expert to the scene.
In this type of accident, the driver of the car being a minor, it is his parents who are civilly responsible for the damage caused by their child, even if these parents, obviously, never wanted the tragedy that occurred that night in Sainte -Cecile.
