The driver suddenly deviated from his lane and ended up against the concrete median. As a result, his trailer, loaded with gravel, ended up on the roadway. The driver was taken to hospital for treatment. The right lane was completely blocked due to the accident. The load ended up on both track sections. The fire service arrived on scene with the necessary signage and had to clean the road.
To be able to hoist the truck, the E34 was completely closed. All traffic must leave the highway via exit 19 Brugge-Zeehaven. Follow the calamity diversion with the letter L to E34 exit 18 Knokke-Heist, where you can rejoin the highway. The Flemish Traffic Center advises long-distance traffic from Zeebrugge towards Antwerp to drive via the E40 and E17.
