The accident theory favoured at this stage
According to the first elements collected by the prosecutor's office, five friends had spent the evening together, "without excess", watching a football match at the home of one of them. For a reason still unknown, they would then have gone near the SNCF tracks.
The investigation continues but "the track of the accident is privileged," said the prosecutor quoted by RTL. The four friends of the victim, shocked after witnessing the terrible scene, were taken care of by the rescuers.
