Investigators are examining how he entered a bus-only lane near the Paris-Saclay campus.

Overview

  • Samuel Coriat, a CentraleSupélec student and former PSG Handball youth player, was struck and killed by a bus near the Le Moulon stop Thursday after leaving the Lumen library.
  • Gendarmes opened an inquiry to determine why he was on a bus-only roadway and to establish what led to the collision.
  • Emergency crews treated the bus driver for shock, and no passenger injuries were reported.
  • PSG Handball, his Palaiseau club, classmates, and the mayor issued tributes, with flowers placed at the site and a minute of applause held Saturday.
