Leffrinckoucke: a DIR Nord vehicle was struck on the A16 while officers were on site

SOn the highway, we quite often come across vehicles from the North DIR (Interdepartmental Roads Directorate). Orange in color, they generally have flashing signs on their roof indicating work or an accident. The objective: to be visible from a distance to motorists so that they slow down and move aside.

And behind this vehicle, there are of course agents. This Wednesday, November 6, they could have been victims of a serious accident. On the A16, near Leffrinckoucke, agents from the Coudekerque-Branche center intervene around 7:20 a.m.

A vehicle is stopped in the right lane, so they must secure access. While they were on exercise, a vehicle hit the DIR Nord van. Fortunately, no one was injured. The van is damaged at the rear. On Facebook, the North DIR alerted, reminding that everyone is “ concerned with the safety of road officials ».
