Monster Yamaha employee and MotoGP legend Guy Coulon will face an involuntary manslaughter charge following an incident at a toll booth on a French autoroute where a motorcyclist was killed.

It has been alleged that Coulon, who is Colin Edwards' crew chief, was reversing one of the Tech3 race transporters and he was in collision with the rider and his bike. Coulon, apparently, has said he saw neither. There are no further details of the incident or Coulon's legal situation.
