The very heavy toll of the accident that occurred on the night of Wednesday to Thursday, in Marquain, freezes the blood! Five people, Tournaisians, including two adults and three teenagers, died in a terrible swerve.
The vehicle was traveling on the A17/E403 motorway, in the Dottignies-Tournai direction. At the end of this section of motorway, he took the exit to the left “Tournai Ouest” in the direction of the Marquain zoning.

“This is where he left his trajectory for an as yet undetermined reason, hit the berm on the right. Following this loss of control, it hit a second half-mast, and literally flew into the trees on the side, before catching fire,” explains Paul-Olivier Delannois, mayor of Tournai, alerted around 4 a.m. . “Of the five occupants, the two adults remained inside the burning car, while the three teenagers also died instantly, but outside the vehicle. »

They are people from Tournai, but caution is needed before being able to formally affirm that they were parents and their children. The work of the identification service is in progress.

Only one vehicle is involved, and there are no visible signs of braking. Excessive speed, however, remains one hypothesis among others.
