Do you have a source?
None of the articles that I checked this morning had that info.
Here is the information from the local news and pictures of the actual accident location, taken on site rather than stock photos.
Edit: this one too https://archive.is/xNDIN
Oh good, I finally get to use my high school french:
Trois des victimes travaillaient dans un restaurant de la commune voisine de Melle, le conducteur en était un client.
3 victims worked in a restaurant of the town of Melle, the driver was a client.
Or I’m completely wrong about everything.
No you got it right, kudos to your high school French!

Merci beaucoup.
Tried to use French in Paris but everybody switched to English immediately.
Got to use it a good bit in lille though, that was fun.
