“A beautiful evening suddenly turned into a nightmare”, testified to our colleagues from the Nieuwsblad Jos Schrijvers, the president of the Waterloos-Voorshoven (WAVO) club in Maaseik, just after the incident which affected the club just before a match. A wild boar, which had already been seen for the first time, simply landed on the ground.
“When he reappeared, our secretary Lambert tried to calmly lure the animal away from the football field,” explains the president. “But he probably tripped and fell (…) It is assumed that the animal was frightened by his fall and therefore attacked him. »
Lambert Houben, 66, suffered a serious leg injury and was taken to hospital. The 60-year-old suffered a serious open leg injury. Local police were also called to the scene. According to Jos Schrijvers, a hunter would have been warned by one of the parents present and would have been shot.
