Woman charged over deadly Paris e-scooter accident

Paris: Paris prosecutors have charged a young woman with aggravated manslaughter over the death of an Italian on the Seine river embankment in Paris earlier this month in a collision with an electric scooter.

The woman, who is a nurse, is suspected of driving the scooter that hit the 32-year-old Italian woman, said a source close to the investigation on Sunday, asking not to be named. The woman was charged late on Saturday with manslaughter, aggravated by fleeing the scene and deliberately showing negligence in the June 14 accident. She was released but placed under judicial control ahead of trial.
