A De Lijn bus driver died in hospital on Saturday following a road accident in Heers (Limburg) shortly following noon. For some unknown reason, the empty bus driven by this man from Gingelom hit a tree. The accident occurred around 12:15 p.m. on a bend in the Nieuwe Steenweg (N784).
Due to the shock, the 43-year-old driver was ejected. An ambulance and an emergency medical team rushed to the scene. The victim was revived on the spot before being transferred to Jessa Hospital in Hasselt in critical condition. She succumbed to her injuries.
An investigation into the causes of this serious accident is underway.
Affected by this sudden death, several of the victim’s colleagues, attached to the Landen depot, were unable to return to work. Several lines (21a, 23a, 38 and 346) experienced disruptions.
