The latter got away with a work sentence of 125 hours, a license withdrawal of 6 months and a fine of 3,000 euros. She knew the victim and had even been to his funeral.
Drunk, she hits another car
On May 11, the young woman caused a second serious accident. This time she had taken drugs and she was completely drunk. Instead of slowing down, she sped up, toasting a priority. She rammed another car, seriously injuring the driver. Fortunately, he survived.
