The driver, his 6-year-old son and his 7-month-pregnant sister-in-law were seriously injured in the accident caused by Pierre Palmade. Still hospitalized, the victims remain in serious condition.
Their lawyer, Me Mourad Battikh, has repeated it many times: the victims are “devastated” by the consequences of the road accident which occurred on February 10 and caused by Pierre Palmade who was driving under the influence of cocaine. .
A week after the collision, their health toll remains heavy. According to information from BFMTV, the man who was driving the car hit suffered multiple fractures. His left foot is badly damaged and, in the opinion of the doctors, he will probably have difficulty walking again.
Six operations
His larynx was crushed in the shock, while his vital organs were seriously affected. This father of three children, including a 6-year-old who was also present in the car, had to be operated on six times, a seventh operation is yet to come.
Her son – who was sitting in the back – suffers from dizziness and is still in psychological shock from the violent accident. According to our information, he will never be able to speak and eat as before.
Additional tests on the baby
Finally, the days of the driver’s sister-in-law, who was 6 months pregnant, “are no longer in danger”, indicates this Friday the parquet floor of Melun in a press release. The 27-year-old woman lost her baby on arrival at the hospital, where she had to undergo an emergency caesarean section.
“The autopsy carried out did not make it possible to establish whether this child was born alive. An additional expertise was ordered on this point”, specifies the prosecutor of Melun.
Depending on the results of these analyses, the survey could be requalified. At this stage, the judicial investigation is being conducted under the heads of “manslaughter” and “involuntary injury by a driver under the influence of narcotics”. If it appears that the infant was not born viable, the count of “manslaughter” could be dropped. A legal debate will have to take place on this thorny point.
