Tragic Accident: Oosterzele Family Involved in Serious Thailand Car Crash Shocking Belgium - Faharas News

 

A tragic accident involving a Belgian family in Thailand occurred on April 19, 2025, leaving one mother dead and her daughter critically injured. The family of four was enjoying their vacation when the incident took place in Pattaya. This shocking event has raised concerns among the Belgian community about safety while traveling abroad.

 

The unfortunate incident unfolded as a 44-year-old mother and her 11-year-old daughter attempted to cross the street when they were struck by a motorcyclist. While the father and another daughter escaped unharmed, this tragedy has left the family devastated. Key details include:

The mother lost her life at the scene.

The daughter is currently in critical condition.

The father and remaining child are safe but traumatized.

 

I posted this in another topic about a drunk Pattaya accident , but it disappeared.

Pretty serious , no indication whether it was a drunk Thai or foreigner.

Yes it seems that way.

It was first on a trustworthy newspaper site of that country.

I search for an english version and that gave me that link.

 

It has been 5 days , so it much be fake or privacy is kept strict.

 

I hope it is wrong , a mother and a small child hopefully not dead.

sounds similar to the German couple and child that got hit by a car crossing a road in Kho Lak on the 19th.

[FlorC]

Could be.

The article said belgians in Pattaya.

[FlorC]

This was the pic with the article.

I haven't been in Pattaya for 13 years , so I can't say that the pic is Pat's

AI generated fake news.

Not living in in Pattaya but circled with the scooter since 2004 on short visits.

I would be puzzled if this picture is Pattaya.

Varying lane indicators??

Undivided road with four lanes in one direction??

That's a big city, Bangkok or not?

Not a single pickup in sight??

AN is usually fast to report accidents with foreigners, not this time.

?? My Dutch(?) is a bit meager but that this means page not found is quite clear.

Can you recheck the link?

 

[newnative]

   Bangkok, I think.   Looks like it might be New Phetchaburi Road.   The tallest close-up building in the photo with the inward slanting top looks like it could be Circle Condominium.

[KhunBENQ]

I found the link now.

No education from you needed. It was a JOKE.

The last link simply describes the same event happened that I can't find anywhere else.

Searched for Belgium (in Thai) in Thai news. No trace.

 

[FlorC]

So 5 sites report this accident and a few days later reported an update that 

the 10 years old is now better .

Still nothing here . Weird.

Good place for a joke on this thread.

You could not open the link , (they all work), and could not read the dutch.

I helped and you bite my a$$. Thanks .

[SMIAI]

It's obviously nonsense. The picture in the VRT article is not even of the primary school mentioned. It's all a total fake.

[Guderian]

Not a single obese farang wearing a wifebeater vest and riding a 25-year-old Honda Wave in that photo, so it's definitely not Pattaya! lol
