Tuesday evening, a bus which was traveling along the Parc des Récollets, in Huy, hit a pedestrian who, visibly, tried to cross the street right in front of him but slipped. The prosecution sent a forensic doctor to the scene of the accident as well as an automobile expert and “We have not yet received their reportexplains substitute Marie-Caroline Courtois. The investigation is ongoing to determine the circumstances.” The driver was interviewed but other duties are underway. To determine the circumstances of the accident but also to identify the victim. Because this Wednesday followingnoon, there is still no precise information on the identity of the person who is probably an undocumented migrant. It is therefore impossible to give information on its age or even on the place where it comes from.
Investigation homework required? They are usual and concern the consumption of alcohol, both by the driver and his victim, via blood analysis.
Note that the bus was empty of any passengers when it hit the pedestrian on Tuesday evening. And “a priori, there are no witnesses”. The public prosecutor’s office will however be able to use images from city cameras as well as data from the device activated by the bus driver to be put in contact with its dispatching service.
Finally, no autopsy was performed. We do not systematically ask for it, in certain cases, yes but not here. But the forensic doctor carried out an external examination of the victim’s body.
