The scene was of rare violence and great suddenness. This Sunday morning, around 6 am, a car rushed on a group of pedestrians on the Port of Saint-Laurent-du-Var. According to witnesses on site, Everything happened in a few seconds. A group of four young people, possibly revelers at this hour, discussed on the roadway, at the parking lot barriers on the Quai de la Pérouse, a little before the western platform and ten meters from the Avia station.
According to witnesses, a White Twingo is then stopped very close to them. The parking lot is very quiet at this time. Suddenly, for an unexplained reason, the white Twingo which is less than five meters from the pedestrian group, starts in a rush and overthrows two young men.
One is jostled on the ground. The other, projected on the hood, falls less than three meters further near a green space. The twingo escapes in a rush. According to this witnessseveral people then rushed to help victims. A young man tried to chase the car on foot.
After turning around in a parking lot, the driver of the car was then ironed at high speed in the middle of the crowd to come out in the wrong way by The entrance to the Avia station, by hitting the barrier in passing.
An ambulance, with three firefighters on board, was rescued from the two young men. In the end, only one of the two, slightly injured, was transported to the emergency room.
The national police were on site.
At this hour, nothing allows you to explain the driver’s gesture. Alcohol level, revenge, madness? An investigation was opened to find the driver.
