I need to know… I really need to know
On Tuesday March 13, 2012, 52 people were returning by coach from a week of snow school. Two minutes before the accident, a change of driver takes place. In the tunnel, the vehicle inexplicably climbs over the curb. A few dozen meters further on, the vehicle crashed into the wall of an emergency area. The terrible toll of this frontal shock counts 28 dead, including 22 children. Olga Leclercq, the mother of little Éline who lost her life in this accident, gives us her feelings that cross her daily: ” I think of my daughter every day. She was a beautiful girl, very friendly. I still love him very much. But we still have a lot of questions. It does not give me peace. I want to know what happened, why it happened. I need to know. I really need to know ! “
The investigation, conducted by the Swiss courts, rules out the hypotheses of a third-party vehicle, speeding, a technical problem with the coach, the presence of alcohol in the driver’s blood, a moment distraction, etc. After months and months of investigation, the investigation ends to the dismay of the parents who hoped to understand the circumstances of the accident. Olga Leclercq, who recognizes the excellent work of the investigators, nevertheless deplores a premature end to the investigation: “At first, the investigation was very well executed from a technical point of view. After three months, it was clear that the cause of the accident was that of the driver. But followingwards, there was no more deep investigation. “
