Tour De France Drops Charges

[Fuzzems]

Tour de France organisers WITHDRAW complaint against woman who caused the biggest crash in the race's history 24 hours after her arrest - but she IS still likely to face charges from prosecutors
Tour de France organisers have officially withdrawn their complaint against the woman who caused the crash
The unnamed woman was arrested and is in custody in connection with the horror incident from Saturday
Woman had her back to peloton with the sign sticking out into the road at handlebar height - causing crash
Crash took place near town of Saint-Cadou, 30 miles from the end of race from Brest to Landerneau
Prosecutors opened a criminal enquiry for ‘deliberately violating safety regulations and so causing injuries that might prevent someone working for up to three months'
This is an indictable offence in France punishable with up to a year in prison and a fine of just under £13,000
Despite the surprise move from organisers, prosecutors may still look to bring charges against the woman

Actions have consequences

Dumb witch

It was dumb but I think the event organizers are also to blame. Why is anyone allowed to get that close to the bikers in the first place?

i though headline was sensationalized. was expecting a nefarious plan to disrupt the race by one political party or another. seems it was just some stupid woman person who didn't think to be OUT OF THE WAY of the cyclists.
