In prolonged custody at Melun hospital in Seine-et-Marne, Pierre Palmade told investigators he had "few memories" of the accident last Friday, which seriously injured three members of the same family, including a pregnant woman who lost her baby.

Also questioned, one of the alleged passengers said he slept at the time.

These are the first words of the actor on the circumstances of his serious road accident.

While his police custody was extended Thursday afternoon, Pierre Palmade told investigators he had "few memories" of the tragedy, which seriously injured three members of the same family, including a pregnant woman who lost her baby. As his sister had reported a few days earlier, the comedian shares his “shame”, and claims to be “devastated” by the consequences of his accident.

Also, he confirms having taken drugs before hitting the road, as a positive cocaine test revealed.

Also questioned as part of the investigation, one of the two alleged passengers of the actor, a 33-year-old Moroccan in an irregular situation according to information from Europe 1, said he was sleeping at the time of the accident.
