The car then flipped and ended up on its roof. “There was a couple inside the car, they managed to get out on their own, it seemed ok, they were lucky. But well, luckily there was no children on the sidewalk at that time”, complete the witness. Firefighters and police officers from the Perpignan police station were dispatched to the scene to make the usual findings. Speeding ? Alcohol consumption ? The investigation should determine the exact circumstances of the accident. “In any case, it smelled of alcohol and we saw lots of beer bottles in the car”concludes the witness.
