Killed a 17 year old kid who was riding a bike without reflective vest. The high school student who should have passed his baccalaureate has died as a result of his injuries.

But no, he did not commit any fault on the road to Orchids, at the exit of Felines. The faults are Sebastian Quieting who committed them. He also came back from a party, had 0.96 g of alcohol in his blood, and was driving too fast.
The driver did not stop after the collision. Although he had twice been to the scene of the accident, he did not go to the police until he had told his roommate that he was back home. “Almost immediately,” says Quentin Lobes, his lawyer. “I hit Adrian but I did not see him coming,” said the defendant. In addition, after that, it was total panic for me. ”
“He did not see him, he killed him and he left,” says Azania prosecutor Julian-Rama. In deciding to drive, he decided to put someone in danger. It was Adrian. The motorist crashed after making a mistake on the highway. “It was raining,” he explains. “But why do we leave the wheel to a person who does not take the right road to get back?” He did not even have the courage to stop when he went back and forth on the scene! His cowardice is to have refused to face reality. ”

However, no, he goes right away, alcoholic. “It’s extremely hard for me,” the defendant says head down. I live a hell, certainly not at the same level as the family, but I would have liked so much that it does not happen … “He has been in detention since yesterday.
