Shortly after France's World Cup victory, a 14-year-old boy was run over and killed by a car in Montpellier.
He died after he was hit by a car.
There were images on social media of a car draped in a French tricolor surrounded by people who grabbed the flag.
The driver panicked and drove into two teens.
The 14-year-old went into cardiac arrest when he was hit by his car as he sped away.
"I am sad that a sporting event should end in tragedy," said Oziol.
Police are searching for the driver of the car that was abandoned not far from the scene of the accident.
The incident happened in Montpellier's north-western district of La Paillade around half an hour after the final whistle in the World Cup.
Flares were lit and police responded with tear gas as the tension between France and Morocco supporters boiled over. France has a large population of people from the Kingdom of Morocco.
Police used tear gas to stop far-right youths in the center of Lyon from attacking each other during celebrations.
There were thousands of police officers deployed across the country.
