The accident occurred around 12:30 p.m. at the intersection with Zeggendijk. For the cyclist, a 65-year-old man from Lille, all help came too late. The circumstances of the accident are still unclear and are being investigated by a traffic expert.
At the same intersection, a fatal accident occurred in early June, in which two cars collided. A 77-year-old woman was then killed when she crossed the Roerdompstraat, a priority road, without giving way.
