Fatal accident at the Rallye du Condroz: the victims are two young people from the region

The Liège public prosecutor’s office confirmed Thursday evening the death of two young people from Hannut and Huy, which occurred on Sunday afternoon during the Condroz Rally. A rally vehicle ran off the road and hit spectators.

“The accident is a road trip of a racing vehicle which took place in the village of Moha, rue Alfonse Nicolas, near number 519“, indicates the press release. The two deceased people are spectators who came to attend the event as a couple. They are a young Hannutoise aged 16 and a young Hutois aged 18.

Several remarks from the race marshal before the accident

“They were probably returning to the house at 519, whose inhabitants they knew. They died instantly“, estimates the parquet floor. “A rather rambunctious group of youngsters were also there and had been the subject of several remarks by the race marshal earlier in the afternoon. The remarks were aimed at getting them out of this area which was dangerous. The two young victims apparently do not belong to this group of young people“, further specifies the press release.

Regarding the human toll, the judicial authorities mention “an indeterminate number” injured, whose life is not in danger. The driver and his co-driver were also taken to hospital but do not suffer from serious injuries. They have yet to be heard by the police. An automobile expert, a medical examiner and the prosecutor’s office descended on the spot.The blood alcohol tests are negative.

According to the first observations of the automotive expert, the accident was due to a road trip related to the rain and the slippery road. The specialist must still examine the vehicle.

“It is impossible to say at the moment whether the victims were in an area prohibited to the public or not. We will no longer communicate until we have received the police reports.“, concludes the press release from the Liège prosecutor’s office.
