'Did lethal accident crash into Ramadan?'

machelen - The trucker's wife, who died on Saturday with his co-driver, wondered openly what the cause was. 'Was he unwell? The heat or Ramadan played a role ', says his wife to Het Nieuwsblad.

Mounir collided with a car in the Belgian city of Machelen with his Aldi truck and then drove full on an empty building of the police.

The 39-year-old driver and his 48-year-old driver did not survive the crash.

Mounir was active as a soldier in the Moroccan army for 11 years and started as a driver at Aldi three weeks ago. 'It was a tough job, but he was overjoyed', says his wife Véronique. His education was almost over and he would soon be allowed to drive alone '.

'I still called me around 11.30 am for a chat. He was very healthy. This accident also raises many questions. Was he unwell? Did the heat or Ramadan play a role? I can not understand this. Mounir was my world and he did everything for me, his son and my two other children. He was a fantastic man and father, 'said the woman in Het Nieuwsblad.

From toxicological research it must be clear whether there is alcohol or drug use.

The occupants of the passenger car, a man and a woman from Jette, arrived there wonderfully without a scratch. Their daughter: 'My parents are happy unharmed, but in shock,' says Jessica Dejonghe from Wolvertem.

'I have spoken to them in the meantime, but it is also not entirely clear to them how the accident came about. They both drove side by side, came into contact with each other, after which the truck driver lost control over the steering wheel. '
