Three injured hospitalized in absolute urgency and a motorist in custody.
This is the heavy toll of a traffic accident that occurred on Monday, January 10, shortly before midnight in Nanterre.
We do not yet know what exactly happened at the end of the evening, rue des Fontenelles.
But around 11:30 p.m., a scooter was driving rue des Fontenelles.
Three people, the pilot and two passengers, are perched on the machine.
The collision with a car occurs between rue de Craiova and rue de la Paix.
An accident without a direct witness it seems.
When the police arrived there, they discovered three bodies lying on the ground.
The scooter in crumbs is against a pole at the corner of rue des Fontenelles and rue Craiova.
50 meters away, at the next intersection, the one with rue de la Paix, the car has the windshield shattered, part of the roof sunk and the airbags triggered.
Between the two, street furniture, a pole and a metal barrier, were deformed by the accident.
The motorist presents himself at the police station
The three occupants of the scooter were immediately taken care of by the Smur.
The rescuers succeeded, thanks to a cardiorespiratory massage, to "bring back" one of the three injured whose heart had stopped beating.
In the end, one of them, aged 18 or 19 and suffering from an injury to the femur and a head trauma was evacuated to the Georges-Pompidou European hospital in Paris.
The identity and age of the other two have not yet been established.
Injured in the legs, one of the two was taken to Beaujon hospital in Clichy and the last, in a coma, was sent to the Kremlin-Bicêtre hospital center (Val-de-Marne).
On the spot, the police did not find any trace of a helmet.
For his part after having briefly disappeared, the motorist contacted the local police station before going there.
Analyzes, in particular alcohol level and toxicology must be carried out.
The investigation was entrusted to the Nanterre police station in order to establish the exact circumstances of this tragedy.
