A driver died in Belgium near the border with France Saturday after hitting a truck which had slowed down due to a road blockade by "yellow vest" protesters, a local government official said.

The accident happened in the Erquelinnes area of Belgium at a junction between the N40 and N54 roads "after a slowdown in France caused by the 'yellow vests'," the local government office in northern France said.
