Reports suggest the motorist drove their vehicle into the parked truck.

How have similar traffic accidents unfolded on the E403 in Wevelgem?
On June 26, 2024, a “traffic infraction” occurred near the E403 exit complex in Torhout, not far from Wevelgem. A passenger car hit a truck, which led to serious damage in the accident. Following the first car accident, two other vehicles smashed into each other while driving on the opposite section of the highway. The sequence of crashing vehicles caused extensive congestion and disrupted the movement of drivers throughout both directions of the highway.
Multiple car pileups with major traffic congestion occur regularly on E403 in Wevelgem. Three specific contributors to this type of accident are collisions between trucks and passenger vehicles, subsequent incidents from the first crash, and traffic congestion that extends across long stretches of roads. Such occurrences emphasise persistent issues regarding safety and congestion control on this important Flemish roadway.
On June 26, 2024, a “traffic infraction” occurred near the E403 exit complex in Torhout, not far from Wevelgem. The incident entailed a truck smash-up against a passenger car that generated substantial vehicle damage.
Two additional vehicles that served as witnesses to the first crash ended up colliding with each other while driving across the highway from the site of the previous collision. The chain of accidents established long traffic backlogs that adversely affected drivers throughout the entire roadway.
Multiple vehicle pile-ups frequently occur, and major traffic interruptions occur on the E403 throughout Wevelgem. Three primary factors/drivers behind E403-related accidents are truck-passenger vehicle intersections and both initial and subsequent crashes resulting in traffic congestion. The constant occurrence of road collisions demonstrates persistent traffic safety challenges which conflict with congestion management operations on this main Flemish road.
