Drama on the A19: the ghost driver was barefoot and in pajamas, we know more about the young woman

This is clear from the first results of the judicial investigation into the dramatic road accident which occurred on Saturday morning on the A19 in Zonnebeke details Het Nieuwsblad in the pages of this Tuesday. She did not make a single swerve to avoid the head-on accident, quite the contrary…

Barefoot and in pajamas. J., this 25-year-old young woman from Menen in West Flanders, was at the local bakery on Saturday morning. She behaved strangely, explains the Flemish daily, when ordering cake and pastries.

We also learned that on Friday afternoon, at the Kortrijk police court, J. was on trial because she was under the influence of cocaine in mid-March 2024 when the police checked him.

The ghost driver who committed a fatal accident was already involved in a collision the day before

False claims about his condition

She said she was now clean. Which seems false since several sources confirm that she took hard drugs again on Friday evening. His confusion and disorientation led to some dramatic decisions the Saturday morning after stopping at the bakery. So she didn’t return home, as she had promised her father. She chose to deliberately crash into a family car in Menen.

A family who was going to happily spend the day in Plopsaland decimated…

J. rushed at high speed towards the Citroën of a couple from Ronse who were going to have fun in Plopsaland with their family. In the car, Mario Laurier (63 years old), his wife Nella (40 years old) and their two teenage daughters. Mario died in the crash. Nella is still in critical condition in hospital and one of the two girls is partially paralyzed for life, according to a latest medical bulletin.

If J.’s state remains confused, everything indicates intentional conduct in the wrong direction. This is notably based on the testimony of one of the two daughters of the crashed vehicle. She said the wrong-way driver did not swerve around 9 a.m. Saturday morning. “More than that” even specifies a judicial source. “When the family driver swerved from left to right in panic to avoid a collision, she deliberately drove in the same direction.”
