Trucker (50) seriously injured in accident on N16 (Willebroek)


A 50-year-old trucker was seriously injured on Wednesday evening in an accident on Koning Boudewijnlaan (N16) in Willebroek.

The man lost control of the wheel of his tractor, rubbed against the concrete wall on the central reservation and eventually ended up on top of the wall. The fire brigade had to free the victim from the cabin.

To prevent the truck from overturning, shoring material was applied. A medical emergency team transferred the driver to the University Hospital Antwerp (UZA) in Edegem. The N16 remained completely closed for half an hour towards Mechelen. There were no problems with direction A12. After the hoist works, the fire brigade still had to remove a lot of leaked oil.
