Kapelle-op-Den-Bos The tragic accident Friday night, the 17-year-old Mathias Dooms died, put a lot of bad blood with the local residents. They organize guncelbonus.org on Tuesday a silent procession to the boy to remember. “It is a bezinningsmoment, but at the same time, we also want the traffic to sue. It is unbelievable what all is playing. Sooner or later, a fatal accident of. Unfortunately it is going on now…”
The 17-year-old Mathias Dooms came Friday on the Oudstrijdersstraat with his bike under a bus when that last Spoorwegstraat wanted to take. He died on the spot. It was a so-called ‘dodehoeksongeval’. “How tragic the circumstances were, but this was just to arrive,” says neighbor Ronan Christiaens. “No director holds another account with a sign, or a speed reduction, priority regulation or enkelrichting. It is also often aggressive off the corner come. The police here can be an all day pv’s format as they would like. That underpass is not suitable for all traffic to swallow. By the work on the Kuiermansstraat and the associated detour is even worse. We ask that all years that the intersection along this side would be redeveloped.”
“The one follow from the other”, says Christiaens. “In order to avoid that they have to sit on the Oudstrijdersstraat drive drivers by the Jan Hammeneckerstraat to here by the Spoorwegstraat to flames, and then their priority of right to take. These are streets for ‘local traffic’, but they are even used by heavy trucks. Cyclists from Saint-Theresiacollege drive also often along the left-hand side on the Oudstrijdersstraat, because they are then on the left Hoveniersstraat should go. That should not, but it is understandable. Then they are at least all on the ‘good side’ to turn, because there is no form of crossover. Sometimes they drive even on the left side of the road through the tunnel to smooth the path to the Client to shoot. How tragic this accident: it had to be this way again.”
