The man maintains that he was careful and that the girl died after first hitting her girlfriend’s bicycle.
The accident in the Bekaerstraat in which Kato died caused a lot of commotion, also about bicycle safety in Zwevegem. The girls were on their way to school when the truck driver tried to overtake them. The lawyer for the victim’s family pointed out that drivers must be extra careful with such a maneuver if children are nearby, according to the law. The relatives find the request for acquittal incomprehensible. The judge will rule on October 10
