" She is better ", told AFP the prosecutor of the Republic of Chambéry Pierre-Yves Michau. But " she was very lucky ". Still in the hospital, she must undergo an operation but her state of health is no longer worrying.
About the driver of the car, who did not stop after the collision, investigators have so far only " very few elements ", continued the prosecutor. According to several local media, the young girl threw herself from the bridge from a height of more than five meters, evoking a suicide attempt. “ It looks a lot like it ,” Mr. Michau only commented.
