The street, in the centre of Kortrijk, has numerous bars and is close to the Vives College of Higher Education. It was fairly busy on the Doorniksewijk and part of the parking lane along the street had been cordoned off with fencing. However, the student climbed over the fencing onto the road where he was hit by a car.
The Public Prosecutor's Office has appointed a traffic accident expert to investigate the exact circumstances of the accident.
