« The street remains under anticipation of the public prosecutor’s investigation. What exactly happened must show further research, according to the first findings two vehicles were involved: an electric bicycle and a car, » says Commissioner Franky Maes.
Criticism
« A maneuver has been carried out by the cyclist, but the circumstances must be further investigated. » In the meantime, the 15-year-old cyclist has been taken criticism. The driver of the vehicle – a lady of 40 years from Londerzeel – who collided with the cyclist, took a negative breath test and was hit hard.
