The respondent, used to the Flaine station where the accident took place, was placed under judicial supervision on Monday, the same source said, confirming press information.
According to the Bonneville prosecutor’s office, the skier’s excessive speed is the cause of the tragedy. The five-year-old girl was taking part in a course at the French Ski School (ESF) when she was hit.
The child, who lived in Switzerland with her parents, died in the helicopter transporting her to hospital, despite the intervention of the emergency services.
According to the regional daily Le Dauphiné Libéré, the ESF instructor who supervised five children, was heard as a witness, no fault on her part having been noted. His group was circulating quietly on the track, in ideal conditions, when the victim was violently struck.
