The victim is "polytraumatized" and in particular seriously injured on one foot.

On Saturday May 28, this young girl in her twenties was crossing the road to Seysses, in Toulouse, on a pedestrian crossing when she was violently hit by a vehicle whose driver fled without helping her.

The investigations led the police to a 25-year-old man, already known to their services.

The suspect was taken into custody on Wednesday and admitted the facts.

Investigators also discovered his behavior, to say the least, strange after the accident.

First, he returned to take his second vehicle and then returned to the scene of the collision to assist in the rescue operations.

Videos in his phone

He also quickly found his routine since, the next day, as evidenced by images found in his phone, he was filming himself for his friends in the middle of an urban rodeo.

The suspect, already under probation, was referred to the prosecution on Friday morning and placed in pre-trial detention pending an appearance scheduled for next week.

The police seized his two cars, for an estimated total amount of 30,000 euros, in anticipation of compensation for the victim.
