Notary receives suspended sentence

A notary from Aix-en-Provence, located in the Bouches-du-Rhône department of southern France, has been given a suspended sentence of twelve months after being involved in a serious traffic accident on August 31 near Pertuis.

Accident details revealed

The incident occurred when the notary was driving under the influence of alcohol and chose to drive against the direction of traffic on a motorway, leading to a collision with another vehicle.

Injuries reported

Three young people were hospitalized as a result of the crash, though the severity of their injuries has not been disclosed in the available information.

The suspended sentence means that the notary will not serve the full twelve months in prison unless he commits another offense within a specified period, which is typically set by the court.
