The crossroads formed by the streets of Florbecq and Grand Marais, in Ollignies (in the Lessines-Ath direction) was the scene of a serious accident this Saturday afternoon, around 2:10 p.m. For a reason that the investigation will have to determine, a van traveling in the direction of Ath collided with a small car which was crossing the crossroads.
Quickly dispatched to the scene, firefighters from the Picardy Wallonia rescue zone had to extricate the two occupants of the car, aged around 30. After cutting the roof and the left side of the vehicle, they extracted the driver and the lady who was in the back.
The slightly injured passenger
The passenger, who complained of pain in the pelvis, was transported to EpiCURA hospital in Ath as a precaution. On the other hand, the driver of the car, whose side suffered the shock, was very seriously affected. As you can see from the photos, the collision was extremely brutal between the two vehicles reduced to the state of carcasses.
If the driver of the small city car was conscious at the time of his treatment by ambulance, his days are in danger according to the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Mons (Tournai division), which dispatched an automobile expert to the scene. He was admitted to the emergency room of the CHU Ambroise Paré in Mons. As for the driver of the van, he is safe and sound. A SMUR and two ambulances from the Hainaut Center area were sent to the scene.
Firefighters from the Rebaix station, under the direction of Captain Éric Stasik, transported an extrication vehicle, beaconing and a command vehicle to the site.
