The gendarmes of the Montmorency research brigade launch a call for witnesses after the discovery of the lifeless body of a driver in Épiais-lès-Louvres (Val-d'Oise), Saturday morning. It was then 7:40 a.m. when the victim, a 93-year-old man, was found driving his car. The Peugeot 207 SW was partly in the ditch on the edge of the departmental 165, at a roundabout, near the runways of Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle airport.
The exact circumstances of the death remain unknown at this stage. Did the driver feel unwell at the wheel of his vehicle, ending his race in the ditch? Was he hit by another car? The first elements collected by the gendarmes suggest that the victim came from the sector of Mesnil-Amelot, in Seine-et-Marne, and was heading towards Louvres, in the Val-d'Oise.
An impact at the rear of the vehicle
His 207 found with the front wheels in the ditch had a relatively large impact on his left rear side suggesting that a collision occurred, possibly explaining the trajectory of the car. However, it is not certain when this collision with another car will take place.
The deceased driver aged 93 was of strong build, measuring less than 1m70, the balding skull. Wearing glasses, he was dressed in black pants and a blue polo shirt. His blue-gray 207 had a plate on the model of the old registrations, with the department number 93.
The lack of elements to understand the circumstances of the facts prompted the gendarmes to launch a call for witnesses to invite all those who can provide useful information to the investigation to come forward to the Montmorency research brigade, by dialing 01.39.64.94.43.
