Remember, this Sunday, the Belliard tunnel had been closed in the direction of Tervuren and the E40 in the followingnoon from 3 p.m. due to a serious accident. Shortly before 3 p.m., a motorcyclist who was traveling in the direction of Montgomery had indeed fallen from his machine. It would have, it seems, misjudged a trajectory during a bend, before colliding violently with the wall of the tunnel.
The victim had been taken to hospital but the Brussels prosecutor’s office told us this Thursday that the driver succumbed to his injuries, as relayed by Het Laatste Nieuws.
According to the first elements of the investigation, – still in progress –, the motorcyclist would have lost control of his vehicle.
