A terrible road accident caused the death of a 2.5-year-old boy in Saint-Christol-lez-Alès, a town in Gard near Alès.
A driver was driving at high speed when he hit a car driven by a mother with her two children at an intersection.
The youngest died instantly from the violence of the shock.
Her brother, a 17-year-old teenager, is seriously injured, but his life is not in danger.
Opening of a judicial inquiry
The driver tried to flee before being caught about 600 meters further after the intervention of witnesses.
The blood alcohol test came back positive with a rate of 0.46 grams per liter of blood.
The police discovered that he was under the influence of narcotics, driving without a license and without insurance.
He is due to appear in court on Sunday.
A judicial inquiry will be opened on this occasion.
