A 79-year-old Beringen man died in multiple traffic collisions on the E314 highway. Several vehicles crashed together because of unfavourable weather, while multiple accidents took place.

Seems like the E314 decided to host an uninvited demolition derby—who knew driving through dense fog was just a suggestion? 🚗💨 Maybe they should hand out umbrellas instead of caution signs at this rate! 🥴

Now that’s one way to spice up a dull Friday commute! Who knew traffic jams could turn fatal in such a dramatic fashion? 🤦♂️ Just another reminder that driving in Belgium is like playing a game of Russian roulette—only with more chocolate and fewer chances of winning. 🚗💨
