Fatal Accident in Yvelines Region of France

Two days after a fatal accident in the Yvelines region of France, new developments have emerged regarding the driver responsible for the collision. The public prosecutor has requested the driver's provisional detention due to two aggravating circumstances: alcohol consumption and excessive speed. The driver, who was heavily intoxicated, collided with a bus, resulting in the deaths of two people and injuring five others.

The driver, a 21-year-old individual, will face up to ten years in prison if convicted. He is scheduled to appear before the judicial court in Versailles on Sunday, where he will be questioned by the investigating judge. This hearing is expected to lead to the suspect being formally charged. Subsequently, he will appear before the judge of freedoms and detention, according to BFMTV.

The driver's blood alcohol level was recorded at 2.04 grams per liter. Following the collision, he suffered a fractured arm and was taken to the hospital, but was later discharged. During questioning, he claimed to have no recollection of the accident or the moments leading up to it. However, he admitted to attending multiple parties with different friends, where he became intoxicated. He then made the ill-fated decision to drive his vehicle, resulting in the collision with the bus at around 7 a.m.

Ongoing Investigation into Fatal Accident

The investigation into the fatal accident between a bus and a car in the Yvelines region is ongoing. The driver of the car, a 21-year-old man, has been released from police custody and is set to appear before an investigating judge. An official inquiry has been launched, focusing on charges of involuntary manslaughter and causing injury while under the influence of alcohol and excessive speed.

The collision, which occurred on Friday morning in Mézières-sur-Seine, claimed the lives of two individuals and left several others injured. The bus involved was operated by SNCF as a substitute for the J line of the Transilien service and was carrying approximately forty passengers, according to the prosecutor. The car, a Clio, was driven by the suspect. The prosecutor detailed that the car crossed the white line and collided with the right side of the bus before crashing into a pole. The bus also crossed the continuous line and fell approximately one story down the road, as explained during a press conference.

The driver of the car had a blood alcohol level of 2.04 grams, but tested negative for drugs. He underwent surgery for a fractured arm on Friday afternoon and remains hospitalized. The two victims of the accident were a 64-year-old man, who had four minor children, and a 54-year-old woman, who had two adult children.

Driver's Detention Requested in Fatal Accident

Two days after a fatal accident involving a bus and a car in the Yvelines region, which resulted in two deaths and five serious injuries, the Versailles public prosecutor has requested the provisional detention of the 23-year-old driver of the car, who was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the incident.

On Sunday, the prosecutor opened a judicial investigation for involuntary manslaughter and causing unintentional injuries. The driver was presented to an investigating judge in the morning, according to the prosecutor's statement to AFP.

During a press conference on Friday, the Versailles public prosecutor revealed that the driver's blood test confirmed a blood alcohol level of 2.04 grams per liter at the time of the accident. However, the drug test came back negative, and the driver was in compliance with regulations. In regards to the bus driver, both tests yielded negative results, according to the prosecutor.

According to Le Parisien, the Clio driver had spent the night attending several parties, where he consumed alcohol and did not sleep. He claimed to have no memory of the accident when questioned by investigators. The prosecutor is considering the possibility of the driver falling asleep at the wheel, as reported by AFP.
