According to De Lijn, bus driver Noureddine Zerrouak (49) had an “impeccable record”. But testimonies to HLN and an email from more than two months before the deadly bus drama in Buggenhout show that there were concerns about his driving behavior even before the accident. A former bus conductor, who made dozens of trips with him, and an ex-colleague testify here. The school calls it “unethical to make a driver’s process based on our own judgment.”
