Ris-Orangis, Monday January 3, 2022. Before ending its race in the wall, the car mowed down Cosmim's scooter and that of his stepfather.
In his race, the motorist mowed the scooters parked in front of the building.
"It's mine," he blurted out, fatalistic.
But I can't do anything, he was not insured… My father-in-law's was also hit.
Looking back, Cosmim, who has a four-year-old boy, has the feeling that he has come close to a tragedy.
“When the weather is nice, the neighbor downstairs sets up a chair in front of the entrance.
If she had been there, it would have been dramatic… Sometimes, children also play in front of the building.
