This Saturday evening, the driver of a Maserati lost control of his vehicle, and its three occupants were ejected. All three, men of Polish nationality, died in the accident.
According to the West Flanders prosecutor’s office, the cause of the tragedy is so clear that no expert has been appointed: the driver was driving at excessive speed.
The accident took place around 9:15 p.m. on the Ringlaan. The vehicle, a Maserati, hit a pedestrian island, then several trees, and ended its uncontrolled run in a ditch. In this trajectory, the three occupants were propelled out of the car. They died on the spot.
According to the Flemish daily Het Laatste Nieuws, they were two seasonal workers in the construction sector, accompanied by their employer. They were 22, 28 and 33 years old.
