A 15-year-old teenager died in a scooter accident in Flers, a town in the Orne department of Normandy, on Monday, October 5. The incident involved a city bus and a scooter. According to Christophe Bogliolo, the prosecutor of Argentan, the accident occurred on a one-way road. Two minors, one 15 years old and another 16 years old, were riding scooters at the time. The 15-year-old teenager "died immediately," while the second minor sustained "no significant physical injuries, but psychological injuries need to be assessed," the prosecutor's office indicated. Drug and alcohol screening for the bus driver was negative, according to Bogliolo. The prosecutor's office has opened an investigation for "involuntary homicide by a vehicle driver," which is being handled by the Flers police station. A call for witnesses was issued by the Argentan prosecutor's office, with anyone who may have witnessed the accident encouraged to contact the Flers police station. A reflection on the affected areas was conducted. In a statement published on the city and agglomeration of Flers website, the mayor Jean-François Brisset and elected officials expressed "most sincere thoughts [...] to his parents, his family, his friends and to all those who loved him and who must now learn to live with this absence." The city also stated that "this tragedy must also lead us to carefully examine the traffic and safety conditions at the affected locations," and that a reflection will be conducted on the square to study modifications and measures that could improve its safety. A reflection on the safety measures of the Abbé-Lecornu street is already underway. "Because no journey should end in a tragedy," the city of Flers stated, emphasizing the need for improved safety measures in the area.
