On the morning of Sunday March 20, a car drove into a crowd gathered for a carnival in La Louvière (Belgium). More than 40 people were mowed down by this car at 4:30 a.m. The carnival of La Louvière had just started. The balance sheet is 6 dead and 40 wounded, in this crowd of about 150 people. One of the participants describes “horror scenes”.
The two drivers, aged around 30, are from the city. They were arrested after fleeing. Justice does not favor, at this stage, the terrorist track. The carnival, which was to continue until Monday March 21, has been canceled. Psychological assistance has also been put in place. King Philippe and the Belgian Prime Minister must go there in the afternoon of Sunday March 20.
