The driver of a Renault Clio estate vehicle first lost control and hit a car regularly parked along the road.
Following the impact, the affected car was thrown against a resident’s garage. The garage was damaged. The thirty-year-old’s vehicle continued its course and hit another parked car.
Subsequently, the driver of a BMW also decided to enter the street without respecting the signs put up by the police. He thus hit the Renault Clio station wagon but also the other vehicle that the driver of the Clio had herself damaged shortly before.
The Renault’s airbags were triggered. The 30-year-old was taken by ambulance to a local hospital. His life would not be in danger. The Charlier convenience store was called. In fact, the Clio vehicle was no longer fit to be driven.
Huy police responded to the scene. “This is a steeply sloping street.“, indicates Commissioner Remy of the Huy police. He regrets the non-compliance with the signs.
“Barriers indicating that driving is prohibited are placed each time when climatic conditions require it.“The police carry out this type of prevention each time to try to avoid tragedies.”Despite the placement of these devices supposed to ensure safety, this does not prevent certain motorists from not respecting the signs. A lack of respect that causes accidents like the one that happened last night. This could have easily been avoided, especially since difficult weather conditions had been forecast.“
