Already known to the police
On Sunday 9th June at 5:05 pm, a driver crashed into two children near a McDonald’s restaurant in Lorient after fleeing a roadside check. The eldest, aged 10, has died, while his 7-year-old cousin is still in a coma. He is in intensive care at Brest hospital.
The investigation “allowed the identification of a suspect, not yet arrested, who would have borrowed the vehicle of his mother while he does not hold the driving license,” said prosecutor Laureline Peyrefitte.
The 20-year-old, already convicted of unlawful driving offences, is currently being “actively researched”, as is the 21-year-old female passenger.
If you have information about the two alleged perpetrators, contact the police on 17 or 02-97-78-86-00.
“Do not intervene yourself,” say the police.
