Death in Belgium road accident linked to ‘yellow vest’ protest: official
LILLE, France, Dec 15, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – A driver died in Belgium near the border with France on Friday evening after hitting a truck which had slowed down due to a blockade by “yellow vest” protesters, a local government official said.
The accident happened in the Erquelinnes area of Belgium at a junction between the N40 and N54 roads “after a slowdown in France caused by the ‘yellow vests’,” the local government office in northern France said.
