Boy (21) experiences a dangerous journey on top of a truck

brussels - The 21-year old Laurent from the Belgian Marche will remember his last trip to Brussels for a long time. After a night out with friends, he jumped last week for the joke on the trailer of a truck waiting for the traffic light. He should not have done that better.

That writes the Nieuwsblad. 'I thought the truck would stop again after a few minutes. 'But it turned out to be less true. What followed was a perilous journey of 130 kilometers. 'When the driver drove up the highway, I was shocked. The further the truck drove, the more uncomfortable I became ', Laurent tells the Belgian newspaper La Dernière Heure.

While the truck was driving on the highway at 110 kilometers per hour, Laurent tried to protect himself from the rain. 'Every time I wanted to see where I was, I got a splash of water in my face. I got soaked and therefore decided to hide right behind the cabin. '

Laurent feared that the truck would drive all the way to the Netherlands. 'But when the lorry took the exit Courrière, I hoped he would stop in Marche (Laurent's place). 'Unfortunately for Laurent the truck drove to something for La Roche where the driver put his car on the side. There, after a hellish journey of one hour and forty minutes, Laurent finally got off the truck.

'When the driver saw me, he thought I was a migrant. I had to explain to him that I actually live in Marche and that I was on his truck in Brussels. Fortunately he believed me and he brought me to La Roche, where he had to unload a load. '

The total sodden adventurer could happily, at five in the morning, find a friend willing to pick him up. 'I was probably hypothermia, but fortunately I did not become ill. Now I can laugh again, but I'm certainly not proud of it. '
