In Lausanne, tragedy struck early Sunday morning when a 17-year-old scooter rider lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a garage wall just before 4 AM. Despite swift action from police and emergency services, who attempted to perform CPR on the young man, he tragically succumbed to his injuries at the scene.
The incident unfolded as the police observed a scooter speeding on Avenue Frédéric Recordon. When the rider spotted the patrol car, he accelerated and entered Avenue William-de-Charrière-de-Sévery against traffic regulations, ultimately losing control at a speed bump. Investigations revealed that the scooter, a 300cc SYM, had been reported stolen just a day prior. The local public prosecutor’s office has initiated a criminal investigation to uncover the precise circumstances surrounding this heartbreaking accident.
