Four injured in chain collision on A19 in Zonnebeke: sudden fog may have played a role

A chain collision on the A19 towards Ieper in Zonnebeke resulted in four injuries last night. Three cars were involved in the accident around 11:45 PM. Firefighters had to rescue one occupant from their vehicle, but no one is in life-threatening condition. Emergency services responded shortly before midnight, and multiple ambulances transported the injured to the hospital. The highway was temporarily closed during the intervention, causing traffic to divert via the Wervik exit. Significant material damage occurred, and slow traffic continued via the emergency lane, leading to long queues towards Ieper. Sudden fog may have contributed to the accident.
