The police received a report of drifting cars at the kluif roundabout on the N58 in Rekkem last Friday night. That is a place where drifting often happens. When the police arrived on the scene, the cars fled, including to the E17 gas station in Marke. It is in that parking lot that a police officer was almost hit by one of the drifters. The officer was just able to jump away from the car.
The driver has now been identified and arrested in Kortrijk. He is known to the court. He may now have to answer to court for attempted manslaughter.
