The woman did not work for the company. She drove her car through the closed gate from a dead-end street. She eventually came across an installation with hydrogen tanks on the company premises. Mayor Seppe Bouquillon (CD&V) had a meeting with Umicore this afternoon about safety.
“As it was a fairly heavy metal gate, both Umicore and I thought there was sufficient security,” says Bouquillon. “It now appears from this accident that the gate was not strong enough after all. There were also concrete blocks in front of the hydrogen tanks to prevent collisions. We now see that the car arrived at an angle and avoided those blocks. So they will be placed slightly differently. become.”
