Fleurimont fatal accident: Six years in prison for Sarah, the sole survivor
The appeals trial of Sarah, the sole survivor of the fatal accident in Fleurimont, will take place at the Court of Appeal this Thursday. The Advocate General demands “not less than six years imprisonment for triple manslaughter, ten years driving ban and continued imprisonment”.
The plaintiff’s attorney is satisfied. Me Georges-André Hoarau believes defendant Sarah Nergel “was indecent today and asked for her release”. The decision to be made by the court will make it possible “to begin the mourning”, says the lawyer “calmly”.
Me Lise Bornes defended Sarah Nergel, “does not understand the claims, but with a deliberation on April 13, the court will take the time to consider all the elements put forward,” she continues.
The consultation takes place on the 13th. Sarah’s release was denied.
The accident happened in July 2018 after a high school graduation evening. The starting point of the drama was an exit from the street, alcohol and speed were involved. At her first hearing, the young woman was sentenced to five years in prison, with one year suspended.
In 2019, his trial was postponed due to a lack of information about the circumstances of the accident that claimed the lives of three young people on July 7, 2018. Sarah, who has since lived in metropolitan France, has always denied being at the wheel of the Peugeot 406 that crashed into a concrete wall before ending its race in a field below. The young woman took refuge in a form of amnesia after the tragedy, saying she was the victim of judicial harassment.
