What happened during the police chase that led to the serious crash on Bruges’ N31 Expressway?
This accident has closed key entry points to the N31. The entry ramp from B-Park to the Expressway to Zeebrugge is closed. The exit Blankenberge at the Expressway is closed because the government wants to avoid other problems from occurring with traffic, so it does not expose people to risks during travel or put emergency services at risk either. This will be so until the government completes their assessment and clears the place.
The local police in Bruges are warning drivers of the road problems and suggest avoiding the A11 if possible. They encourage people to use other routes to reduce delays and avoid busy areas. The police will post updates on the situation and an investigation is ongoing.
