Jeanne, 16 ans, traversait la rue au passage piéton avec sa cousine. Lorsqu’un chauffard à scooter a fauché les deux jeunes filles. Il ne s’est pas arrêté. L’adolescente est décédée.

Le drame a eu lieu vendredi 18 juin 2021, à 23h10, à un feu rouge, à l’angle des rues de Tolbiac et Château-des-Rentiers, au niveau des Olympiades, dans le 13e arrondissement. Le conducteur du scooter, qui aurait brûlé le feu, les a violemment percutées. « Elles ont été traînées sur vingt mètres », confie un témoin. Le chauffard présumé a alors abandonné son scooter dans la rue et s’est enfui en courant. Retrouvé par la police, il a été interpellé et placé garde à vue.
