The return to Belgium following 10 days of vacation has turned tragic for a family from Ypres. Indeed, this Tuesday, around 4.30 p.m., barely tens of minutes following landing at Zaventem airport, the parents and their two teenage daughters had the fear of their lives as they were traveling on the E17 near Kortrijk. .
“We suddenly felt something,” a family member told Laatste Nieuws. “I opened the window to see if the smell was coming from outside, but it wasn’t.” Fact. In reality, it was the engine of their Peugeot that was catching fire. “Another driver told us that we had to get out of the car as soon as possible.”
Fortunately, because a few moments later, the whole vehicle was in flames.
A disaster for the family, especially since the circumstances of what happened will be impossible to determine: “This car is 13 years old and spent 10 days in an underground parking lot in Zaventem… We don’t know what happened “.
