He had drunk alcohol and did not have the license: it is probably for these reasons that a young 21-year-old driver tried everything to escape during the night from Saturday to Sunday from the police who had asked him to leave. 'stop, even if it means endangering them, as well as the individuals who crossed his path.
A mother who was carrying three young children in her car on Saturday evening was the victim of a driver who crashed into her vehicle in Cergy, boulevard de l'Oise.
The driver and the three children were not injured.
However, they were taken care of by the firefighters who transported them as a precaution, in relative emergency, to the Pontoise hospital center.
The driver was for his part arrested and taken into custody after a journey that led the police to follow him for 15 minutes.
Several collisions with police vehicles
The starting point is in Saint-Ouen-l'Aumône, at 11:30 p.m., rue des Séquoias, in the Chenevières district, when a police patrol spots the suspicious behavior at the wheel of the young driver. Three men are in this car and the driver has no intention of stopping as officials ask him to pull over to the side of the street. On the contrary, he sets sail and is immediately chased by the police patrol, reinforcements are mobilized.
The driver will thus attempt to outrun the police, failing to hit the vehicles of the officials while driving initially towards Éragny, before returning to Cergy. The officials try to stop the fugitive with the Diva device, the bar which is placed under the wheels and punctures the tires. Despite everything, the young man - who has collided with police vehicles several times - continues his mad race before colliding with the mother and the three children.
This will not stop it any more: it will have to hit a wall a little further to come to a standstill.
The police reportedly used the electric pulse pistol to subdue the youngster, who was otherwise apparently uninsured.
He was immediately arrested and taken into police custody.
Its passengers were also heard by the Cergy police services this Sunday.
