An 18-year-old man, who was riding a scooter, died Wednesday evening after a chase with the police linked to a refusal to obtain a police check. “I heard a big boom and I immediately understood that there was an accident,” explains a mustached local resident.

The hood of the white van into which the two-wheeler crashed is depressed. The sidewalk is littered with vehicle debris. A thick flow of blood continues to flow along the roadway, despite some gravel placed to hide it.
