• Events: The Kamikaze of the M-50 is "downcast" and says it was "imprudent"

The kamikaze that killed a 20-year-old on the M-50 last September was traveling at 200 kilometers per hour and almost quadrupled the permitted breathalyzer rate , according to the final Civil Guard Traffic investigations. He faces up to 15 years in prison for a crime of manslaughter and another of reckless driving. The Provincial Court of Madrid has confirmed today the provisional imprisonment of Kevin CB, 35, as alleged responsible for the death of a young man who was driving last September 15 on the M-50 at the height of Coslada (Madrid) when his car was rammed by the defendant's driving in the opposite direction.

In a car the Hearing dismisses the appeal presented by the lawyer of the investigated to understand that the precautionary measure of deprivation of liberty ordered by the Court of Instruction number 5 of Coslada is fully adjusted to law since the crimes that are attributed to Kevin CB " they are serious and carry serious penalties so the risk of leakage is evident and palmarous . "

The resolution states that the measure of deprivation of liberty is also convenient "to prevent concealment, destruction or alteration of evidence" while continuing the investigation that is being carried out about what happened on the day of the events.

Kevin CB is being investigated for alleged crimes of manslaughter in competition with that of reckless driving that carries up to 15 years in prison, as well as another against road safety, which carry imprisonment for more than two years, reports the Court Superior of Justice of Madrid.

The order explains that the indications of the participation of the investigated in the facts are plural.

It emphasizes that c the effects of alcohol were low, with results of 0.92 and 0.84 milligrams of alcohol per liter of air expired in the first and second tests, respectively.

He adds that he was traveling at an approximate speed of 200 kilometers per hour and in the opposite direction to what was allowed, according to witness statements, who saw how he stopped dead and intentionally changed direction.

In this way, "he put several drivers at risk with absolute disregard for their lives until they hit the vehicle of a 20-year-old boy, who died on the spot due to the brutal impact," adds the Chamber.

For the magistrates "the relevance of the seriousness of the crime is undeniable" and therefore it is also the penalty that would be imposed on him with what "it is possible to presume the temptation to escape".

The Hearing also confirms the precautionary measure of deprivation of the driving license of the investigated.
