Local residents witnessed the driver escaping on foot through nearby gardens, jumping fences and damaging property along the way. The police deployed a drone team to assist in the search, which extended towards Hechtel but ended without success around midday.
Why did the driver abandon the vehicle and flee? And what does this incident mean for local road safety? These questions remain as authorities continue their investigation into the rented Ferrari with German plates. Here is what we know so far.
What might have motivated the driver to run away? Could this be linked to speeding or other risky behaviour? The incident highlights ongoing challenges in managing high-performance vehicles on Belgian roads:
- The crash involved no other cars, suggesting loss of control or driver error.
- Police used drones, showing increased reliance on technology in urban policing.
- Damage to private property during the escape raises safety concerns for residents.
- The rented status of the Ferrari points to issues with rental car regulations and accountability.
As the investigation continues, Belgian authorities and communities alike must ask: how can such dangerous incidents be prevented? Staying informed and reporting suspicious driving behaviour can help keep our roads safer for everyone.
