An octogenarian was in police custody on Friday January 20 in Lille, after hitting another motorist the day before and then rolling over her body, causing her death, during a road dispute, police sources told AFP.
The 86-year-old respondent refused to make a statement after hanging out of a parking space in Ronchin, in the Lille metropolis, the victim's parked car, detailed one of these sources.

The victim, born in 1956, then stood in front of his vehicle, but the octogenarian drove off, throwing her onto her hood and then to the ground, before rolling over her while fleeing, according to the same source.
The 60-year-old died on the spot from her injuries, after paramedics failed to revive her.
