This Monday evening, a terrible road accident caused the death of a cyclist in the rue de Herbesthal in Eupen. A 62-year-old woman from La Calamine was hit by a truck while she was riding her bicycle. The facts took place in the roundabout which joins the roads of Textile and Industry. This Tuesday morning, the police in the Vesdre-Gueule area launched an appeal for witnesses to find the driver of the truck who did not stop after this accident.
Did he commit a real hit and run or did he not realize that he had mowed down a cyclist? “We ask any witnesses of the accident or people who can provide information on the identification of the driver of the fleeing truck to contact the police station in Eupen at the number 087/45.04.50”, indicates the police zone .
La Calaminoise died on the spot despite attempts to resuscitate the emergency services. “Our services were informed beforehand that the truck had almost rolled over the cyclist. She was found lying not far from the roundabout. The truck then left the scene. The emergency services called to the scene carried out resuscitation measures, in vain. At first glance, it seems that the cyclist and the truck both came from Welkenraedt, ”concludes the police area.
