Three people were killed Friday in Belgium after a truck slammed into several cars, with its driver later testing positive for drugs, dpa reported. The victims were a mother and her two children, the Belga news agency reported. Another eight people were injured, including the 33-year-old truck driver. He was detained by police after a test for drugs in his system came back positive, Belga quoted prosecutors as saying. The truck drove into the cars around noon (1100 GMT) at an intersection in the town of Denderleeuw, some 20 kilometres outside the Belgian capital Brussels. One car was propelled onto another. A total of eight vehicles were involved in the accident. -- SPA 19:47 LOCAL TIME 16:47 GMT تغريد
