Cannes Drunk-Driving Crash Leaves Mother Critical as Police Probe Shootings in Marseille and Seine-Saint-Denis

Fast-track courts alongside specialist police mark the official response.

Overview

  • In Cannes, a 35-year-old mother remains in critical condition and a 14-year-old relative risks amputation after a speeding 4x4 struck the family on boulevard Carnot; the driver, in his early 20s, was arrested after fleeing, toxicology tests are underway, and the Grasse prosecutor has opened an inquiry.
  • In Nice, a 24-year-old whose reckless driving was captured by a 20-year-old motorcyclist’s video received a 12‑month suspended sentence with two years’ probation, mandated care and victim compensation, and a one‑year license ban after an immediate trial.
  • In Marseille, a man in his thirties was gravely wounded by gunfire near boulevard Romain Rolland, investigators recovered about fifteen shell casings including from a shotgun, a burned vehicle was found nearby, and the case was assigned to the DCOS.
  • In Seine-Saint-Denis overnight, three people were shot within two hours, including a man in Bobigny critically injured by a head wound and two victims in Bondy; the Paris criminal brigade and SDPJ 93 are leading the separate investigations.
  • In Clermont-Ferrand, a 20-year-old was killed and a 53-year-old wounded in suspected drug-related gunfire, and in Pau a confrontation that began in a shop led to an exchange of shots with a 24-year-old wounded suspect in custody as the SIPJ conducts a flagrance inquiry.
