A 17-year-old unaccompanied foreign minor died in Toulouse following a police pursuit. The incident began during an attempted roadside check after officers observed what appeared to be a drug transaction. During the encounter, the scooter driver reportedly accelerated abruptly, nearly striking a police officer and bystanders. The ensuing chase resulted in the teenager hitting an anti-parking bollard, causing severe chest trauma. Although the minor was transported to a hospital while conscious, he passed away later that evening. Authorities noted the teenager had no prior criminal record and was found in possession of approximately 1,000 euros in cash. Recent reports confirm the fatality as one of two separate deaths involving minors reported in Toulouse. An investigation is remains underway to determine the exact circumstances of the pursuit and the accident.
