She was going to work by bike with light and reflective vest, but without a helmet. Hit by a car on Friday morning and left on site, Jessica miraculously doing well.
Certainly, it must move with crutches. Certainly, his body bruised by the shock and fall makes her suffer. Certainly, she was arrested for at least fifteen days ... but she is alive. Others have lost their lives on the road for less than that.
Blame it on a dangerous driver chaining swerving at high speed. We will never know if he was drunk while driving. Matthew was arrested Tuesday, four days after hitting the bike Jessica as she joined his post at the University Hospital.
"It's dangerous"
It is 6:50 on Friday morning. The day is not lifted. The young woman of twenty years travels to Jacques Coeur Avenue cautiously. "It is dangerous that road. I always look behind me and I let the car coming, "she said in court yesterday who thought the driver who mowed.”There was another car, but in the distance. It was a red light and I saw the reflective tape on the car. I left. And then, it happened very quickly. In seconds I flew! "
"I ask for mercy ... the car!"
Driving the Mercedes C-Class used by his wife, Matthew buffers the rider, breaking in passing his rearview mirror. The hull and the mirror will be found by investigators from the police station, but not Matthew. He continued his journey before stopping in Montamisé where he brutalizes with the whiskey bottle remained in the car. He had to share with a friend who was not there that fateful night quarrel with his wife.
"I work too much, I see little children, and we quarreled. A 2 pm 30 am I left, "says the Jaunais-Clanais 36 years.
"I wanted to go to a friend. He was not there. So I went to drink two glasses of whiskey coke in Poitiers. After I wandered ... I hit this lady without realizing it. I understood when I saw the broken retro reflective tape. "
These are firefighters discovered Matthew in his car. "I asked them if there had been an accident this morning! "The matter stops there, Saturday morning. Matthew does not seek further. After careful investigation, they fall on him Tuesday.
They contacted all Mercedes dealers. A retro 710 € it is not forgotten. And indeed, a reseller remembers a motorist in reflective vest who inquired to purchase one. The key is good!
The commercial that rolls across the region sees his life crumble, his wife and his father on the frontline. "This is the first time we will fight," says the first; "I ask for clemency for the car!” says the second.
An expensive car refunded every month, which the prosecutor claims, the confiscation. In addition to the cancellation of the license that Matthew could not board one year. He claims no committal order, but four months suspended sentence and the obligation to treat his alcohol problems.
What matters to me Frezouls, lawyer Jessica, it is the financial compensation for his client already precarious situation. Grandon’s son tries to bring down the charges for hit and run.
Matthew, he is resigned to what is looming: the loss of his license and his job. He tries to keep the car. "It is that of my wife. She takes the kids to school with. "
The court listening to this one point. The object of the crime is not confiscated. Matthew gets four-month suspended sentence. He must heal, his license is canceled and he will have to wait eight months for the board.
He must pay € 2,000 provision to Jessica waiting to encrypt all of its damage.
This accident tells everyone the importance of a safety vest with reflective tape and helmet. There is a reason for the safety vest and helmet to be mandatory for cyclist and motorist.
