Police verbalizes all curious motorists

Verbalized motorists will be notified by post in a few days with heavy sanctions: withdrawal of three points on the driving license and a flat -rate fine of € 90. Paradoxically, passengers have the right to photograph and film the scene, despite the curious nature of this gesture.

The accident took place a little before 6 am when a truck driver fell asleep at the wheel and was slightly injured. The incident caused the A7 motorway closure for approximately nine hours in the Drôme.

Many traffic jams and hijackings have taken place on the secondary axes. Motorists trapped in traffic jams therefore took the opportunity to get their phones out.

The A7 is closed again today, from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., to allow the VINCI teams to repair the damaged road.
