French translation

I have this sentence;

Because of his physicalhandicap ( he has a stiff leg and limps)he has been unable to find work elsewhere and has escaped the STO.

which translates to;

A cause de son handicap physique (il a une jambe raide et il claudique) il n’a pas pu trouver du travail ailleurset s’est échappé au STO.

what I don't get is why 'has escaped' is "s'est échappé" and not "il a échappé"


any help is much appreciated :smile:
Generally "to escape" is "s'échapper".
