A 20-year-old man was involved in a high-speed chase in Isère on the night of Tuesday, October 6, into early Wednesday, October 7. He was driving a Citroën Jumpy and forced a toll barrier before colliding with a police car during the pursuit. Inside the van, authorities found a T-Max scooter equipped with a geolocation system, which had been reported stolen in Annecy. According to Dauphiné Libéré, the man was first spotted by the gendarmerie in Cran-Gevrier, in Haute-Savoie, and was then chased by law enforcement. A little before 4 a.m., the driver forced the barrier at the Crolles toll and crashed into the car of the Chambéry anti-crime unit that was following him. Despite the collision, he continued driving on the A41 motorway. According to confirmed information from the Grenoble police to BFM, officers positioned themselves at the Grésivaudan roundabout in Isère, anticipating the fugitive's route. They set up a barrier to try to stop him. The man then swerved "apparently voluntarily" toward an officer who was preparing the device, forcing the officer to leap aside to avoid being hit. The 20-year-old then turned back toward Chambéry to escape the police. He took the southern bypass toward Meylan-Lyon, where he hit a safety barrier before colliding again with the Chambéry BAC car that was pursuing him. He abandoned his vehicle in the middle of the road and fled into the fields. He was eventually caught and arrested. In his trunk, police found the stolen scooter from Annecy. The suspect was discovered to have no driver's license. The Grenoble prosecutor's office told BFM that the individual has eight entries on his criminal record and will be brought before the prosecutor on Thursday, October 8. The incident highlights the risks involved in high-speed police chases and the ongoing issue of vehicle and scooter theft in the region.
