Belgian court frees driver over fatal crash

A court in Tournai, Belgium, has sentenced a 44-year-old driver after he was found guilty of killing two children in a traffic accident in 2021. The court rejected the imposition of a penalty due to the lengthy duration of the legal proceedings. The incident occurred on the N58 highway in Mouscron, resulting in the deaths of two children, including a 4-year-old girl, after his car collided with a streetlamp. The public prosecutor had requested a five-year prison sentence for the driver, but the court addressed the case with a conviction only, without imposing a penalty, citing the delay in the legal process.
