A van crashed into a bus shelter in Wielsbeke, West Flanders, on Monday. A 15-year-old girl, who was waiting under the bus shelter, died.

The victim’s mother was taken to hospital in critical condition. A third person who was also under the bus shelter was also seriously injured. The West Flanders prosecutor’s office said later in the evening that the two seriously injured women were now out of danger.

The reason the driver crashed into the bus shelter remains unknown. According to the first findings of the prosecution, the driver was not driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. He wasn’t using his mobile either. An expert has been appointed by the prosecution to investigate the circumstances of the accident. The perpetrator had his driver’s license revoked. He will be medically examined to determine if he is still fit to drive.
