La Dépêche du Midi

indicates in its edition of the day that a 21-year-old driver, almost silent at the helm, has just been sentenced to two years in prison suspended by the Toulouse Criminal Court.

He was on trial for crashing into a family's car, with two children in the back, as he was driving the wrong way on the highway.

The accident, which saw the family's car roll over, happened on August 18, 2019.

Insane route and app activated

The young driver first passed the family vehicle before taking an exit ramp and then abruptly turned around and accelerated before the collision.

How if he was chasing something, without worrying about his route.

The young driver did not remove the mystery of his behavior at the hearing.

But the emergency services found his smartphone after the accident.

With the Pokémon Go app activated.
