A three-and-a-half-year-old girl was rushed to the Gonesse hospital center in Val-d'Oise for a serious head injury. According to Le Parisien, she was walking along a Goussainville sidewalk when she was struck by a mini-motorcycle.
Two young men rodeoed on a minibike without helmets when they saw a police vehicle that was actually on an intervention. They decided to run from the police and one of them was unable to avoid the girl. According to the newspaper, he was taken into custody and the other fled.
Minibike rodeos are now a crime punishable by a year in prison and a 15,000 euro fine.
