Thiès: Street Vendor Killed on Highway as Driver Admits to 170 km/h

I. Ndao appeared before the Thiès flagrante delicto court on an involuntary manslaughter charge after fatally striking a street vendor on the highway at around 10 p.m. He said he had moved to the right to let another vehicle overtake when the vendor allegedly stepped into his lane to cross. Ndao admitted he was driving at 170 km/h. The prosecutor requested application of the law, while his lawyer asked the court to consider the circumstances and show leniency; the case was taken under advisement.
