Drunk truck driver spoils holiday fun

The first sunny day of the summer encouraged many Flemings to head for the coast on Thursday, but the Brussels - Ostend motorway was closed from 7AM until 4PM due to an accident.

The truck driver was found to be over the drink drive limit. He zigzagged over the carriageway and crashed into the pillar of a bridge outside Ghent.
The truck that turned on its side was carrying 26,000 litres of hydrochloric acid.
The content needed to be transferred to another lorry before the motorway could be reopened.
At one point there was a 17 km tailback as a result of the accident. Red Cross workers handed out bottles of water to stranded drivers

Brussels Beach a Success

The city of Brussels and its event planning bureau say the fifth edition of Brussel Bad was a success. The city beach along the canal on the Saincteletteplein in Brussels drew almost a half million visitors. The weekends were busy because of the sunny weather, but the weekdays were disappointing because of the clouds and rain.
The 70 musical acts drew an average of 150 to 350 spectators. The on-site library loaned out 800 books to beachgoers. No fewer than 130,000 cocktails were served during the event.

So you think life in Belgium is dull?

It’s spring in Belgium. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, the flowers blooming, the fields and forests are green with new growth.

Yes, the popular way to prove your mettle here is to barrel around blind curves, tailgate, invent your own passing maneuvers, and speed like a German on the autobahn. Driving is the unofficial national sport and the Belgians want to see who triumphs in the end: you, the other driver, or the Grim Reaper. READ ON
