Number of hit-and-run accidents in Brussels has never been higher | VRT NWS: news

Figures from the road safety institute VIAS reveal that in Brussels the number of accidents in which a driver failed to stop was higher than ever in 2021. 706 hit-an-run incidents in which someone was injured were recorded last year. This is a big rise on the 534 such incidents recorded in 2020. However, the coronavirus pandemic and the lockdowns that resulted from it meant that there was less traffic on the roads.
