Four rowers collide with barge: drama avoided

The exact circumstances of the accident are still being investigated by the shipping police. It is now clear that this could have ended much worse. The rowers of the Royal Rowing Association Bruges escaped with a few bruises and scrapes. With this type of training there are always a number of safety measures, for example, a coach always cycles along the towpath who can indicate danger. It is also exceptional for such a thing to occur.
