Authorities are working to determine the circumstances surrounding this incident, which left the elderly man in critical condition. Emergency responders transported him to the hospital as investigators began gathering details about the event.

What happened in Passendale?
Passendale, a small town in West Flanders, Belgium, is historically significant due to its involvement in World War I, particularly the Battle of Passchendaele in 1917. Known for its rural tranquility, the area near Zonnebeke blends historical importance with peaceful surroundings.
The accident occurred on Graventafelstraat, a busy local business area that includes café De Mosselmarkt. Serious traffic incidents are rare in this region, making this event highly unusual.
