Driver in Fatal Festieux Crash Released After Two Months in Prison

A macabre road accident occurred on April 4, 2018, on the RD 1044 in Festieux, in the Aisne department. The toll is two dead - two girls aged 2 and 4 - and two seriously injured, their mother Nadia Karmel, and their one-month-old brother Isaac. The motorist Vincent Montré, who was driving a used Maserati, is the author of this accident.

In court, Montré’s guilt had been established. He was sentenced on November 21, 2019 to 5 years in prison, including 3 years firm for involuntary manslaughter and involuntary injuries. With his lawyer, he had appealed. After two months of incarceration, his request for a sentence reduction was accepted, reports Franceinfo.

"You crushed them and I’m afraid it was without remorse. On my side, something is eating me; you never had a word for them or for Isaac, let alone for us," laments Nadia Karmel, disheartened.
