The accident happened around 1:20 p.m. The driver of the Porsche lost control at some point and came to a stop on the side of the road against a semi-trailer that was parked there. The crash was huge. The emergency services had to free the victims from the wreck, but one of the occupants turned out to be deceased. The second person was taken to hospital with serious injuries. The MUG helicopter also arrived on the scene, but all help came too late for the driver.
“The driver of the car, a 29-year-old man from Landen, died,” the public prosecutor’s office said. “His passenger, a 22-year-old man from Bornem, was transferred to AZ Sint-Jan in critical condition.”
The police closed Isabellalaan locally pending the necessary findings. The public prosecutor’s office appointed a traffic expert to determine the precise circumstances.
