A week after Pierre Palmade’s road accident, the 6-year-old boy in the vehicle hit by the comedian remains in shock. His state of health worries his family to the highest degree.
Pierre Palmade would have spent his day using narcotics before taking the wheel of his Peugeot 3008 at the end of the day. Around 7 p.m., his car suddenly deviated from its trajectory and hits a Renault Mégane coming the other way. On board, a man, his 6-year-old son and his 6-month-pregnant sister-in-law who will lose her baby soon after. An octogenarian driving a Twingo causes a second collision when he hits the back of the family vehicle. A witness certifies having seen two men get out of Pierre Palmade’s car before help arrived. A helicopter will transport the victims of the accident to the hospital within hours.
A week later, BFMTV gives worrying news about the state of health of the driver of the Renault Mégane and his son. The child sitting in the back of the vehicle, still in shock, would suffer from dizziness. “He has a broken jaw and was hit on the head. He is still in shock. He doesn’t eat like before and doesn’t drink like before“, explains the nephew of his father to the journalists. The driver would still be immersed in a artificial coma after undergoing no less than six operations. “He has fractures all over. The leg, the arms, the shoulders… He has nothing on his head, but everything is broken at homereveals his nephew awaiting a seventh surgery. They tried to wake him up, but the pain was too much. ” For the time being, there are very few details on the state of health of the driver’s sister-in-law.
What will happen to Pierre Palmade?
Indicted for “homicide and aggravated manslaughter“Seven days after the accident, Pierre Palmade narrowly escapes the provisional detention requested by the public prosecutor’s office. Under electronic surveillance, the 54-year-old comedian is under house arrest in an addiction service of the Paul Brousse hospital in Villejuif. “It is a custodial measure. It’s not a favor“, explains Maître David Curiel, criminal lawyer at the Paris Bar, in the columns of the Parisian. The order issued by the judge of freedoms and detention constrains Pierre Palmade to fixed hours of presence in the hospital to allow him to treat his addictions. Lasting six months, house arrest under electronic surveillance (ARSE) is theoretically renewable three times, without exceeding a period of two years. No specific deadlines have been communicated in the case of Pierre Palmade. The Melun public prosecutor’s office nevertheless appealed this decision.
