After the accident, Evan Pichard-Arnaud tried to flee on foot, taking the vehicle's license plates and papers, before being arrested by the anti-crime squad. The judge of freedoms and detention, who studied his placement in pre-trial detention, mentioned custody, in January 2024, for excessive speed while driving a Porsche, in the country of Lorient. The police discovered videos on his phone of him driving up to 250 km/h.
Evan Pichard-Arnaud, son of a car enthusiast, started karting at four and a half years old. He very quickly became a hope of the discipline. He participated in European championships and had recently taken up rallying. At the age of 21, he created Era Motor's, a company for the purchase/sale of “premium and sports vehicles”, “specialist in used Porsches in Brittany”, based in the Cardonnière area, in Lorient.
