The driver of the bus hit by a TER, killing 6 and injuring 17 in December 2017 in Millas in the Pyrénées-Orientales, faces a 5-year prison sentence, 4 of which are suspended. This is the sentence required by the public prosecutor in Marseille.
Five years’ imprisonment, four of which were suspended on probation, were required this Wednesday in Marseille against the driver of the school bus which collided with a TER at the Millas level crossing (Pyrénées-Orientales) in 2017, causing the death of six children.
Prosecutor Michel Sastre dismissed the “fatality” in this accident, while emphasizing the “exceptional dimension of this tragedy” in which 17 teenagers were also injured, eight of them seriously. He also requested the cancellation of the driving license (for tourism and passenger transport) of the driver and her prohibition to retake them for five years.
