Car Crash at Évreux Bar Leaves One Dead, Five Injured
A tragic incident took place in the early hours of March 14, 2023, at a bar in the 50,000-resident city of Évreux, Normandy, France. The altercation resulted in a car being driven into a crowd, claiming one life and injuring five others.
The scene at the wine bar was one of panic when emergency services arrived. Witnesses described the incident as chaotic, with people screaming and running for cover as a car was driven backward multiple times into the crowd.
The bar, which is known for not following the rules regarding closing time, should have closed at 1 a.m., according to the mayor of Évreux. However, it appears that the establishment did not comply with the rules at the time of the incident. This non-compliance was reported by the mayor to the BFMTV channel.
Following the incident, the owner of the bar reportedly cleared the establishment. The driver of the car, along with two other occupants and another person, were arrested. The identity of the driver is not provided in the available information.
The prosecutor of Évreux, Rémi Coutin, is involved in the investigation. The arrested individuals are being investigated for manslaughter and attempted manslaughter. The investigation is ongoing, and more information is expected to be released in due course.
This unfortunate incident serves as a reminder of the importance of adhering to rules and regulations, particularly in public places. Our thoughts are with the victims and their families during this difficult time.
