A pedestrian was killed in Cannes after being struck by a driver who was under the influence of alcohol, according to local reports. The driver, a 37-year-old woman, has been formally investigated and placed in provisional detention, as announced by the Grasse prosecutor's office. The incident took place on Sunday, September 13, around 3:40 a.m., when a 50-year-old man was crossing an intersection and was hit by her car. Emergency services arrived at the scene, but the victim later died from his injuries. According to the prosecutor's office, the driver continued driving after the collision before stopping in a dead-end street with her headlights off. She was then arrested by law enforcement and was found to be in a highly intoxicated state. This is not the first time she has faced legal trouble; she has a prior record with the police and judiciary, particularly for driving under the influence of alcohol. A judicial investigation was launched on September 14 for "road traffic homicide committed by a motor vehicle driver with at least two aggravating circumstances (alcohol and hit-and-run)." This legal term refers to a crime where the driver's intoxication and failure to stop at the scene are considered serious aggravating factors. The case is now being reviewed by prosecutors to determine the full extent of the charges and possible consequences for the accused. The incident has drawn attention to ongoing concerns about drunk driving and the dangers it poses to pedestrians. Authorities are likely to scrutinize the case closely, given the driver's prior offenses and the severity of the consequences. The victim's family is expected to be informed of the legal proceedings as they unfold.
