Pauline Adrien Victim of a Fatal Accident in Riche-en-Eau - Émilie: "I Want Justice for My Mom"

Marie Pauline Adrien, 46, was known in St-Hilaire as a caring, discreet mother deeply devoted to her family. On Wednesday, November 19, her life was abruptly cut short during a ride on her electric motorcycle. She was found motionless in the middle of the road, severely injured, and despite the quick intervention of the Emergency Medical Services (SAMU), she did not survive. Her family has no doubt that Marie Pauline did not fall alone; they are denouncing a hit-and-run and are calling for the police to thoroughly investigate the case.

According to the initial police report, the woman was discovered on Royal Road in Riche-en-Eau, lying face down with her electric motorcycle nearby. The multiple severe injuries indicated a violent impact. Despite attempts at resuscitation, they were unsuccessful. The autopsy concluded that she suffered from "acute pulmonary edema," but her family feels this conclusion does not clarify the surrounding uncertainties.

Her daughter, Émilie, struggles to hold back tears. The words come out with difficulty, filled with sadness, anger, and a feeling of abandonment: "I want justice for my mom. I still need her in my life. She was supposed to be with me. It's not easy. I will eat with her..." she says, overwhelmed. She criticizes the authorities for a cruel lack of information. Other family members do not hide their outrage over this terrible loss: "Neither the police nor anyone else has explained anything to us. It’s as if she just fell on that road. We need to remember, this family has a heart. We need justice. No one is considering what happened."

The family makes an urgent appeal for authorities to actively search for the driver involved. "I condemn hit-and-run incidents. We are asking the authorities to work on this, to do everything to catch that driver," Émilie insists.

At this point, no witnesses have come forward, complicating the investigators' task. However, the police in Cent-Gaulettes are continuing their investigations and analyzing the seized motorcycle. Officers have visited the scene, and the investigation will determine if another vehicle was involved.

In this southern locality, the disappearance of Marie Pauline Adrien leaves a huge void. Her family promises to fight until the end to obtain justice.
