On Thursday afternoon on the A12 towards Antwerp, a car ended up on its roof near the Jan de Vos tunnel in Wilrijk. This is what the Flemish Traffic Center says. The driver is in mortal danger.
A driver drove his car on the A12 towards Antwerp around 12.30 pm. “At the junction with the Liberation Tunnel, the car crashed into the narrowed central reservation for an unknown reason,” says Lien Klewais, spokesperson for the federal police. “The car was catapulted and landed on its roof.”
Several other drivers who saw the accident immediately came to the trapped driver’s aid. “The victim was taken to hospital in life-threatening condition,” Klewais said.
The Jan de Vos tunnel is temporarily closed, traffic is directed towards the Liberation Tunnel. The Flemish Traffic Center advises drivers who have to go from Brussels to Antwerp to take the E19 instead of the A12.
