On Wednesday, a serious accident occurred on the E313 motorway towards Antwerp, near Herentals-Oost, as confirmed by the federal police.
A car collided with a lorry at the end of a traffic jam.
At least three people died in the accident, Belga news agency learned from a reliable source on Thursday. Federal police initially reported one death and two injuries.
The motorway was partially blocked for several hours, causing a long traffic jam towards Antwerp.
Waiting times reached two hours, partly due to the rush at the start of the Ascension weekend.
