A bus driver has been found guilty of a fatal accident at Leuven station. He has received a three-month suspended prison sentence and a driving ban. On February 19, 2024, the man hit a 27-year-old Indian student while turning toward a bus stop. She died in the hospital that same day. "The victim did not have the right of way, but that is not a license to hit her," the judge ruled.
