Mathieu Mas (37) is a “broken man” after a fatal collision with a 22-year-old cyclist and resigns as alderman: “But the fact that he was drunk is certainly not correct”

Mathieu Mas (37) resigns as CD&V councilor for Social Affairs after he fatally hit a 22-year-old cyclist on Wednesday evening. His party has announced this. Lawyer for the politician Jean-Baptiste Nottebaert hopes to be able to shed some light on the circumstances. “But above all, this is a terrible accident that is extremely difficult for everyone to process.” The lawyer also states that Mas was not drunk after the accident, but that is mainly a legal trick to use in the later trial about the accident.
