The fire brigade received the call just after 6 p.m. Not only the Midwest zone, but also the Fluvia zone arrived on site.
Upon arrival, the fire brigade was only able to extinguish the completely destroyed car wreck. The four French passengers, three women and a man, were unharmed.
All in all, they were able to put their setback on New Year’s Day into perspective. “It is better that our chariot burns out than that we remain in the fire.”
The car fire caused a traffic jam for a while, from Oekene gas station to the location of the fire in the direction of Kortrijk.
