This long chase took place on the night of Thursday to Friday July 25, around 3 am, between Palavas-les-Flots (Hérault) and Lédenon (Gard).
This Friday, July 25, a simple control turns into a real chase between Hérault and Gard! During the night, around 3 am, a driver fled while the municipal police in Palavas-les-Flots, in Hérault, try to carry out a check. A refusal to comply which will result in a hunt of almost 70 km!
Indeed, while the crews of the Montpellier bac try to stop the driver, the latter heads on the A709 to Nîmes, in the Gard. At the level of the Delta kilometer interchange, police officers, reinforced by their nîmes baccalaureate counterparts, summon the suspect to stop. But he rushes on them and continues his journey.
He rushes on police officers
The police then tried, once again, to slow down its race with a dam. But the driver, multiplying the offenses, forces the device. It was at this point that the police would have used their firearm to stop it. An unsuccessful attempt since the driver rushes northeast of the city. Fortunately, no injuries are to be deplored.
The unfavorably known questioning of justice
The race continues for a few more kilometers, before ending between the Nîmes Marguerittes and Lédenon area, where it was finally arrested. Disapporably known to justice, the driver, in his thirties, was placed in police custody, just like his passenger who was with him. He will be heard on the facts, especially on the reason why he fled at the sight of the municipal police.
