A section of road Avenue du Lycée which was known for speeding. He was knocked over and thrown in the air hitting the front of the vehicle, then the road and  thrown a few metres. The impact killed him. The two other young policeman working with him were terribly shocked and taken into care by the pompiers /ils ont été prise en charge.
