In Lombardsijde, a sub-municipality of Middelkerke, an accident occurred with a tram at the Westende Sint-Laureins stop on Saturday around 6:35 p.m. When the tram left the stop, it collided with a pedestrian. According to Frederik Wittock, spokesperson for De Lijn, the man in his forties is doing well.
“The woman was not injured as a result of the incident, as the tram was traveling at a very slow speed. Only tram traffic was possible on one track for about fifteen minutes, but the driver was soon able to resume his journey. Shortly before 7 p.m. the situation was completely normalized and everything was cleared again.”
