It was shortly before 9 p.m. on Monday evening when a collision occurred between a cyclist and a motorist in the center of Denderleeuw. As Het Laatste Nieuws explains, the rain seems to have played a role in the accident since heavy rain fell at that time.
Be that as it may, the car hit the bike trying to enter a one-way street. A traffic sign that the driver obviously hadn’t noticed. The shock was very violent, according to the witnesses who attended the scene: the victim fell to the ground and lost consciousness. Supported by the emergency services, the cyclist has serious injuries.
Still according to people who attended the scene, the driver would have first continued on his way before going around the block to return to the scene of the accident.
