Un homme né en 1999 est mort ce mercredi 1er mai, aux alentours de 5h30, dans une collision impliquant un automobiliste au niveau du numéro 1 de l’avenue Rageot à Toulon, a appris BFM Toulon Var de source policière.

“La voiture n’est plus sur les lieux du sinistre”, indiquaient tôt ce mercredi matin les pompiers dans un communiqué. L’automobiliste a finalement été rapidement interpellé, aux alentours de 6 heures dans une commune limitrophe de Toulon selon la police.

Une manœuvre intentionnelle

Né en 2003, le conducteur de la voiture a eu une altercation avec un groupe de plusieurs personnes au sein du club toulonnais Boys Paradise avant de se poursuivre sur la voie publique selon le parquet.

D’abord évoqué comme un accident par les secours, la manœuvre mortelle de l’automobiliste est en réalité volontaire selon les forces de l’ordre. Une enquête, confiée à la division criminelle de la police territoriale, a été ouverte pour “assassinat” et “tentative d’assassinat”, confie le parquet de Toulon auprès de BFM Toulon Var.

Un autre piéton, né en 1992 a été grièvement blessé et transporté en centre hospitalier avec un pronostic vital engagé. Une personne a elle aussi été légèrement blessée dans le choc.

Les pompiers rapportent que plusieurs personnes ont été choquées et également prises en charge par les secours. Trois d’entre elles devaient être transportées en centre hospitalier pour une prise en charge psychologique.

17 sapeurs-pompiers, trois ambulances mais aussi la police nationale et le Smur ont été mobilisés sur cette opération.
