Camus Car Crash, Conspiracy Theory

Just came across this article (The Observer, August 2011) about the death of Albert Camus in the 4 January 1960 car crash.

If one wished to invent a conspiracy theory about the causes of the fatal accident, would it not seem slightly more plausible to link it to the Algerian war of independence?

See also the article by Fiachra Gibbons, The Guardian, 20 October 2012, about the events in Paris in October 1961. Something that the 'pied-noir' Camus did not live to witness.
