The driver of the two-wheeler fled heading north and it is in the neighboring department of Val-d'Oise, in Garges-lès-Gonesse, that he fell from his motorcycle and hit "alone" a guardrail, according to the same source.
The young man died following this accident, which took place near the station of Garges-lès-Gonesse, said a second police source. The Pontoise prosecutor's office has opened an investigation and entrusted it to the General Inspectorate of the National Police (IGPN), according to a source close to the investigation.
