The accident occurred around 9:15 a.m. at the start of the traffic jam caused by the crash earlier today in Destelbergen. A total of three heavyweights are involved in this accident. The driver of the first truck, a 37-year-old Hungarian boy, did not survive. The circumstances of the accident are being analyzed.
The E17 is still blocked. The traffic police also closed the motorway at Lokeren and diverted traffic via the N70, where works near Zeveneken also caused traffic problems.
