The accident took place on Friday around 8:30 p.m. on boulevard Lambermont in Schaerbeek between the Demolder and Paul Brien stops. The man was walking with his dog when he was hit. The first indications seem to show that the dog was the first to be found under the tram before the man was also hit. The victim was in critical condition when taken to hospital. She died there from her injuries on Saturday.
The prosecution opened an investigation and went on site Friday evening, said his spokesperson. “A judicial perimeter has been set up at the scene of the accident to be able to make the various findings. A traffic expert has arrived,” she said. “The tram driver was not under the influence at the time of the events. He was heard by the police the evening of the accident and was in a state of shock. The investigation into the exact circumstances of the accident is still In progress.”
