A ghost driver died in a serious traffic accident at 11.40 a.m. on the A10 motorway towards Ostend, near Zandvoorde, on Saturday afternoon, reports the Bruges section of the West Flanders public prosecutor’s office. The man from Ostend hit a motorhome with his car. The motorway was therefore completely blocked on Saturday in the middle of the day, reports the Flemish Traffic Center (Vlaams Verkeerscentrum). It is not yet known how long these disturbances will last.
While a motorist driving a motorhome was driving near Zandvoorde, he was suddenly confronted with a ghost driver. The latter, aged 31, died. The occupants of the motorhome were taken to hospital with serious injuries. The exact circumstances of the incident are still under investigation by the police and the prosecution. As the motorway is closed, motorists heading towards Ostend are advised to take the E40 towards France at Jabbeke and then exit the motorway at Gistel to reach Ostend via the Torhoutsesteenweg. People using this emergency detour should also be aware of delays. For traffic from Antwerp and Ghent, it is currently recommended to follow the E34 towards Knokke.
