The driver of the “Fuck Truck” is dead. Albert Ardisson, 85, died on the night of May 15 to 16, his granddaughter announced to Nice Matin. According to the media, he died in Carros, in the Maritime Alps, where he lived.
Albert Ardisson was a complete unknown until the tragedy of June 19, 1986, when at the end of the day, on a departmental road, the 38-ton vehicle he was driving collided with the two-wheeled vehicle of Coluche, the founder of Restos du heart .
“I haven’t seen it”
The interested party never recovered from that day, as he explained to Antenne 2, 27 years after the accident. “I didn’t see him. He came out. I saw him when he hit there. What else do you want me to tell you? He was going fast, very fast,” he confided to them.
In the weekly Le Petit Niçois he claimed to have fallen into a “serious depression” after the events. Two years after the events, the Grasse criminal court sentenced him to a fine of 1,000 francs, while he was on trial for his murder. The drama even inspired one of Renaud’s songs, damn truckthat the artist had dedicated to children’s comedians.
