Gendarmerie reports on two accidents Saturday

~ Clarifies details after rumours circulated ~

MARIGOT--The Gendarmerie denied Sunday that one of its patrol vehicles accidentally had run over a child who subsequently was treated for unspecified injuries.

Capitaine Jouault explained there were two had been separate accidents on Saturday, one in French Quarter at 11:00am and one in Sandy Ground, both involving patrol vehicles.

In Sandy Ground a child fell off a bike as the Gendarmerie car was passing, but at no time did the vehicle hit the child, Jouault explained.

"It was material damage only," he said. "I don't know where this information came from that the child was hit by a car."

The other accident involved a Gendarmerie vehicle chasing a motorcycle rider who was not wearing a helmet, in French Quarter. The driver lost control of the Gendarmerie vehicle during the chase and the vehicle hit a wall.
