A woman in her fifties was fatally struck by a vehicle in Béziers on the night of Saturday to Sunday, we learned from a police source and from the prosecution.
The driver did not stop after the impact.
"I confirm the death after percussion by a vehicle which fled and whose driver then lost control about 200 meters further by falling into a ditch," Béziers prosecutor Raphaël Balland told AFP.
An open investigation
Two men in the vehicle were arrested and taken into custody on charges of intentional homicide, he added.
At this stage "the facts are still confused" and the investigators are wondering about "a possible voluntary act", explained Raphaël Balland.
According to a police source, the two men had been asked to leave a restaurant following a brawl.
