A 23-year-old lost her life in the city center of Dole (Jura), where a BMW led by a teenager struck her violently.
A terrible drama in the Jura, Tuesday July 22, 2025, a 23-year-old woman was fatally struck in the middle of the afternoon while she was traveling with a scooter in the commune of Dole. A “terrible shock” according to residents, who testified to our colleagues in progress. The BMW arrived in the opposite direction and has mowed the young woman from the front.
At the wheel was a 16-year-old teenager, non-detentor of the driving license as his young age suggests. Wednesday, July 23, his police custody was extended for a potential presentation in front of the prosecution.
Her cousin tries to make believe that she was driving
The hearings carried out by the investigators have absolutely not played in favor of the young person implicated. First when the police learned that the car belonged to the father of a friend of the 16 -year -old accused, then when his cousin tried to smoke the police. She indeed tried to convince the investigators that she was the driver, not the 16 -year -old young man, which would seem unlikely.
The young person in question was controlled negative with alcohol and narcotics. The speed and absence of driving license could be the main causes of the accident that cost the young woman of 23 years.
“I am also particularly angry because we never cease to remember that speed kills, especially when these speeding are held in town, in narrow streets!”, Embarks Jean-Baptiste Gagnoux, mayor of Dole, in a sad message on social networks. “Because the circumstances of this drama are the completely excessive speed, in a turn, which is at the origin of the accident. In any way the scooter. It is a drama which generates a lot of sadness for this young woman, her family and her loved ones”.
