The four passengers of the BMW all died on the spot. It concerned two sisters-in-law of 24 and 26 years old from Sint-Niklaas and the two children aged 5 and 1 years from the 26-year-old woman.
BM (25), a carpenter from Kruibeke and the driver of the Mercedes, was seriously injured. According to his lawyer, he ran a blow, broken ribs and a concussion. At the start there were already strong suspicions that the man was driving too fast, but M. was released under certain conditions. « The decision of the investigating judge is incomprehensible and a blow in our face, » it sounded to the family.
« We don’t know how things are going to be so wrong. It is currently guessing for us, » said his lawyer, who did not want to make a statement or he was driving under the influence. « He just doesn’t remember, » said the counsel.
The public prosecutor’s office now comes with the news that the man was indeed under the influence. He tested positively on alcohol and drugs. (PVS)
