Traffic jam on the E40 due to accident with three cars

About four hundred meters before the Mannekensvere gas station near Middelkerke, the cars hit each other and ended up in the central reservation. The fire brigade with a signal vehicle and an ambulance were sent to the scene, but there were no people trapped or seriously injured. Due to the accident, the left lane was closed for a while and there was a large traffic jam until just over Nieuwpoort. The cars had to be towed.
