Monday 23/07/07- On the Motorway E40 between Gistel and Middelkerke a person died in a harsh accident. A 26 year old driver from Holland hit a german truck head on.
The dutch driver has lost control over the vehicle for an unknown reason and crossed the mid-section to end up in the opposing traffic.
At the scene of the accident there is no guard rail between the drive lane and the middle section. The driver collided with the german truck who was travelling in the direction of Veurne.
The car immediatly cought fire. Witnesses of the accident were able to put the fire out quickly but for the duthc driver all help came too late. The driver of the german lorry was allright.
Because of the accident a 3 km traffic jam occured, traffic in the direction of france could only pass on one lane.
RIP Fernando![]()
