Five years' imprisonment, four of which were suspended on probation, were required on Wednesday in Marseille against the driver of the school bus which collided with a TER at the Millas level crossing (Pyrénées-Orientales) in 2017, causing the death of six children.
Prosecutor Michel Sastre dismissed the "fatality" in this accident, while emphasizing the "exceptional dimension of this tragedy" in which 17 teenagers were also injured, eight of them seriously.
He also asked for the cancellation of the driver's driving license (tourist and passenger transport) and his prohibition to retake them for five years.
