A 12-year-old boy riding a bicycle was hit by a car on Friday morning near a school in Torhout. His vital prognosis is engaged, indicated the Bruges section of the West Flanders prosecution.
The accident occurred around 8 a.m. in the Sint-Jozefstraat, very close to a school in Torhout. The victim was taken to hospital in critical condition.
A traffic expert has been appointed by the prosecution to shed light on the circumstances of the accident. His initial findings indicate that the child wobbled on his two-wheeler, hitting another cyclist, and the two then fell. The boy ended up in the oncoming traffic lane. The oncoming vehicle was unable to avoid the child and knocked him down.
