Fatal accident on the A709: the investigation is progressing

#MONTPELLIER Since the fatal accident that took place on Saturday 21 December on the A709 at exit no. 28 and which involved a vehicle from the Hérault gendarmerie, “all necessary investigative means have been deployed”, assures Laurent Fekkar, deputy public prosecutor.

A dozen investigators from the General Inspectorate of the National Gendarmerie (IGGN) are working there. A chase had begun after the Saint-Jean-de-Védas toll booth between a gendarmerie Alpine and a motorcycle driven by a 30-year-old man from Castres, without a license or insurance, accompanied by a 17-year-old girl from Saint-Just. The motorcycle had just been stopped at a speed of 139 km/h on a road limited to 90 km/h.

Laurent Fekkar specifies: “in light of the initial investigations and technical findings, the theory of a direct collision between the gendarmerie vehicle and the two victims' motorcycle is called into question”. The investigation continues.
