He rides so quickly that he kills his friend after a hovering flight

A young driver admitted to having killed his friend during a swerve on a boulevard near Highway 25, in Montreal, after riding so quickly with her rented BMW that she no longer touched the ground.

Mouad Boubakra, 20, pleaded guilty on Wednesday morning to an accusation of dangerous driving causing the death of Louis-José Dué.

Relatives of the 19 -year -old victim wanted to be present at the hearing at the Montreal courthouse. Emotic, they were dressed in t-shirts paying tribute to Mr. Dué.

On October 17, 2023 in the evening, he took place in the passenger seat of the BMW X6 white led by Boubakra. The accused had rented this luxury car a few days before for a month, even if he had only a probationary license.

According to a witness, the vehicle was spinning at 95 km/h on the Louis-H.-La Fontaine boulevard, on the edge of Highway 25 in the north of Montreal. The speed limit in the sector is 50 km/h.

A man who was waiting for the bus claims to have seen the vehicle “quickly crossing the Maurice-Duplessis intersection in flat flight”. A third passer -by observed the vehicle “switch to high speed, so much that none of the tires touches on the ground”.

When the BMW fell on the ground, it struck the sidewalk chain and made several ties before finishing its race against a low wall.

Very damaged BMW

After the collision, the four tires were offset, all the inflatable cushions were deployed and the rear trunk was completely torn off.

“Damage and major deformation to the structure of the BMW vehicle demonstrate that it is a very high velocity collision,” concluded the collision reconstructionist, without being able to establish a precise speed.

Mr. Dué was transported urgently to the hospital, where he died of his injuries the next day.

The accused had no apparent injury. But when he was arrested in the hours following the collision, he “does not seem to understand, vomited several times and does not remember having had an accident. He asks if he was with someone in the vehicle. ”

Curfew

Mouad Boubakra had been released with conditions to be respected, including a curfew.

But the police discovered three times last fall that he was not at home, thus defying the conditions of the court.

He had since been assigned 24 hours a day at his Montreal-Nord residence.

Wednesday, his restrictions were again relaxed so that he could “demonstrate that he respects his conditions when he is given a little rope”, according to his lawyer, M^e Anthony el-Haddad.

Mouad Boubakra will be back in court in December for the rest of the procedures.
