A police officer has been injured in a road traffic accident on the Woluwelaan in the Brussels municipality of Sint-Lambrechts-Woluwe. News of the accident first appeared on the Francophone news site RTL Info and has since been confirmed by the Montgomery Local Police Service.
One of the officers that was inside the police van was taken to hospital with serious injuries. On Wednesday morning his condition was described as being no longer critical. His colleague was also taken to hospital where he was treated for shock.
Tram services on route 8 were suspended in both directions between Roodebeek and Trammuseum. A road traffic accident investigation expert has been appointed to assist the investigation that is being conducted by the neighbouring Marlow Local Police Service.
