Un bus finit sa course dans un fossé en Flandre, douze passagers emmenés à l’hôpital

(2022-03-29_15-52-00 (Belga))


Douze personnes ont été légèrement blessées, mardi après-midi, à la suite d’un accident de bus survenu à Damme (Flandre occidentale), a indiqué la zone de police Damme/Knokke-Heist. Pour une raison encore inconnue, un bus De Lijn a fini sa course dans un fossé.

L’accident s’est produit vers 13h30 le long de la Gentse Steeweg à hauteur de la section de Sijsele, dans la commune de Damme. Le bus, qui roulait sur la ligne 58 (Bruges-Eeklo-Gand) en direction de Maldegem, est sorti de la route pour se retrouver dans le fossé.

Des 50 passagers, 12 ont dû être emmenés à l’hôpital pour des blessures légères, dont certains mineurs. Le chauffeur, en état de choc et légèrement blessé selon la police, a lui aussi été pris en charge.

La police enquête désormais pour élucider les circonstances exactes de l’accident. Elle devra probablement attendre la déposition du chauffeur et d’éventuels témoins pour ce faire.

The world's most avid baseball fan (an Aggie) had arrived at the
stadium for the first game of the World Series only to realize he had left
his ticket at home. Not wanting to miss any of the first inning, he went
to the ticket booth and got in a long line for another seat. After an hour's
wait he was just a few feet from the booth when a voice called out, "Hey,
Dave!" The Aggie looked up, stepped out of line and tried to find the owner
of the voice -- with no success. Then he realized he had lost his place in
line and had to wait all over again. When the fan finally bought his ticket,
he was thirsty, so he went to buy a drink. The line at the concession stand
was long, too, but since the game hadn't started he decided to wait. Just as
he got to the window, a voice called out, "Hey, Dave!" Again the Aggie tried
to find the voice -- but no luck. He was very upset as he got back in line
for his drink. Finally the fan went to his seat, eager for the game to begin.
As he waited for the pitch, he heard the voice calling, "Hey Dave!" once more.
Furious, he stood up and yelled at the top of his lungs, "My name isn't Dave!"
