On the night of Saturday December 28 to Sunday December 29, the police night patrol was circulating in the Saint-Jean district of Puy-en-Velay around 2:30 a.m., when its attention was caught by a Renault Clio which was driving at high speed. look on rue de la Gazelle. The crew decided to follow the vehicle and saw it run a first red light, avenue Charles-Dupuy, then a second and continue on avenue du Maréchal-Fayolle. After witnessing four crossings despite a red traffic light, the police activated the flashing lights and siren to encourage the driver to stop, in order to carry out a check.
This action did not achieve the expected objective. If at first the car slowed down, allowing the screen-printed vehicle to come up to it, and pretended to park, it was only to better accelerate by entering Avenue de Vals where a 5th traffic light red has been crossed. The police officers who had time to record the vehicle’s number plate preferred not to pursue it to avoid taking too great a risk in an urban environment.
He denounces himself the next day…
While their colleagues were taking care of the follow-up to this event, the next morning, a young man of 19, residing in Lantriac, presented himself at the police station to report himself after his refusal to comply committed the day before. He was interviewed while in police custody. He was unable to give an explanation for his attitude.
