The E25 near Sprimont was blocked on Saturday following a road accident, NOS reported at 13:36. A driver involved said they were armed and threatened an explosion.
According to NOS, people were removed from cars in the area and traffic was diverted. The mayor assembled a crisis team; the bomb disposal service also attended the scene.
Whether weapons or explosives were actually present has not been confirmed in the source consulted. The supplied RTBF headline reports that the driver has surrendered, but the accompanying publication could not be checked. As a result, the current traffic situation has also not been sufficiently established.
