A 19-year-old man suspected of causing a fatal traffic accident in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen, Belgium, remains in custody for at least another 30 days after a court rejected his request for conditional release. The incident occurred when the suspect allegedly hit a group of elementary school students and their supervisors traveling by bike to a summer camp. Three children and the school director died, while others were injured, with three suffering serious injuries. One of the seriously injured has since been discharged from the hospital, but concerns remain about the recovery of the other two. The suspect’s lawyer argued for his release to await trial, but the court ruled against it, citing an assessment that the risk of repeat offenses is 'moderate.' Prosecutors are investigating whether the driver was recklessly driving, which would constitute the most severe form of culpability in traffic cases.
