Serious accident with motorcyclist in Keiem

In the Tervaetestraat in Keiem, a serious traffic accident happened just after noon on Sunday. An East Flemish motorcyclist choked in a bend on the road towards the Yser. According to police commissioner Kris Huysentruyt of the Polder police zone, he did not know the roads very well and lost control of the wheel.

Serious injuries

The man was taken to hospital with serious injuries and underwent surgery, but his life was not in danger. The oncoming car, a 68-year-old local resident, escaped with a fright. A third person, a cyclist, was also involved in the accident, but he also suffered little from the collision.
