On July 3, 83-year-old Marcel died after being hit by the 81-year-old motorist in Saint-Malo. The accident could have ended even more tragically, because the 13-year-old granddaughter of the victim was also injured. The teenager was thrown several meters away, but he miraculously survived the accident.
The driver who caused the accident had already killed an 80-year-old pedestrian three months earlier on the same street. But since the court did not revoke his driver’s license after the first accident, he was allowed to continue driving, according to what was reported by the French channel “RMC”.
In France, a driver’s license is not automatically revoked in the event of a fatal accident.
This is incomprehensible to the family members of the second victim. The police should have withheld this man’s driver’s license. I don’t understand why they didn’t. How can the police, the legal system, allow the perpetrator of the murder to continue driving, albeit forcibly? Mae Sarah Vogelhout, attorney for Marcel’s daughter, wonders. “We can’t bring Marcel back with this, but we have to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Never again,” concludes the lawyer.
