Anvers : un blessé dans une explosion et un incendie sur un site d’Umicore

Un accident impliquant un réservoir d’hydrogène de l’usine chimique Umicore a eu lieu à Olen, en province d’Anvers, mercredi soir. Celui-ci a occasionné une explosion et un incendie, a confirmé l’administration communale. Un blessé est à déplorer, mais il n’y a pas de danger dans les environs immédiats et la situation est sous contrôle.

Le blessé a été transporté à l’hôpital.

Une voiture a percuté le réservoir en question. « Ce qui a provoqué une grosse explosion, mais il n’y a pas d’autre danger », ajoute la commune d’Olen. « Les services de secours sont sur place. La situation est sous contrôle. Les pompiers restent sur place pour assurer le suivi. Les services de secours demandent de ne pas encombrer les lieux car il y a beaucoup d’activités sur le site », ajoute l’administration communale. Le bourgmestre Seppe Bouquillon (CD&V) assure toutefois qu’il n’y a plus d’incendie en cours près du réservoir en question. L’explosion et l’incendie étaient visibles à distance.
