after the accident on boulevard du Roi Albert in Tournai, 17-year-old Noémie is fighting to stay alive

Christmas Day took a dramatic turn for a family from Blaton. This Sunday, around 5:30 p.m., Noémie, 17, was the victim of a serious traffic accident, which occurred on the boulevard du Roi Albert in Tournai.

The young girl was hit by a driver as she crossed on the pedestrian crossing of the boulevard in the direction of rue Vauban. The penumbra could, in particular, explain the drama. The Tournai public prosecutor’s office was informed of the facts and sent an expert to find out more about the circumstances of the accident. According to the substitute, “the speed is in any case not in question, as well as public lighting”. The darkness and the dark clothes the girl wore could be taken into consideration in the investigation.

Immediately taken in charge by the emergency services in a serious condition and even judged critical by the magistrate on duty on Christmas Day, Noémie is still fighting for her life. Many people support the girl in this fight. Her big sister sent her a message: “To you my little sister, come back to us quickly. We love you, be strong. You are only 17, life is unfair”.
