Possible after someone from a bridge a stone down threw, jumped the panoramic roof of their car in a thousand pieces. “This has had a much worse time”, is aware of the Moorsledenaar.

On the way to the AZ Groeninge hospital in Kortrijk for a doktersafspraak did Aurel Vermote (78) and Betsy Schoutteten (75) Monday morning, something for nine hours the shock of their lives. “We rode quietly on the A19 when suddenly the panoramic roof of our car kapotsprong,” says Aurel. “That happened when we were in Gullegem, just under a bridge were driven. “First, there was a slap and the next moment we were buried under thousands of pieces of glass.” Betsy was unharmed, Aurel sustained some cuts on the head. As soon as that was possible, did the couple stop at a safe place along the A19.

‘Something’ came from the bridge

Aurel and Betsy were surprised, when they the damage opmaten. “Almost the entire panoramic roof was smashed in our car,” says Aurel. “Also in our clothes and hair we found dozens of pieces back. Although we don't have anything in our car seem to be anywhere, everything seemed to indicate that there is something on our roof had fallen, that the bridge came. By coincidence or intentionally, we don't know. But it seems to us unlikely that there is just something of a bridge cases. There was also no truck for us, which, for example, something can be lost. In our car we have already, nothing found.” When returning to the house, watched the couple again specially good when she is once again under the conscious bridge reason. “But we have no defects in construction noticed.”
