He fell heavily on the road.
On Wednesday, a biker from the Morbihan gendarmerie was seriously injured during a chase with a vehicle that refused a road check.
According to
Ouest-France
, it was not yet 3 p.m. when Ploërmel's motorized brigade attempted to control a vehicle on the RN166 connecting Vannes to Ploërmel.
Refusing to comply, the driver fled, forcing the bikers to chase him up to Serent.
Forced to move away so as not to be mowed down, the police rider fell violently on the road in the interchange.
The gendarme was taken care of by the emergency services and transported to hospital.
His days would not be in danger.
He tries to flee on foot
The driver of the vehicle and his passenger were finally found a little later on the edge of a secondary road, the car immobilized in a field after leaving the road in a bend.
The driver would still have tried to escape on foot but was quickly apprehended.
An investigation has been opened.
