Woman (63) who caused railway accident in Bilzen convicted on appeal: 15 days driving ban

A woman from Genk, previously acquitted for a train accident in Bilzen, has been sentenced to a 15-day driving ban on appeal. The incident occurred in May 2023 when she crossed the tracks and became stuck. Initially, she was found not guilty due to poor signaling and panic caused by a construction supervisor. However, the court has now ruled that she was at fault for obstructing the crossing and ignoring a prohibition sign. Her lawyer plans to review the ruling thoroughly.
