An online translator gives the result below.
Deadly misfortune on the A18 with Gistel mom 23/07/07 - On the E40 between Gistel and means church this afternoon a dead person cases is by a heavy misfortune. A 26-birthday driver from the Netherlands drove frontally in on a German truck. The Dutch young man had lost round a yet unknown reason the control over the steering wheel and reason over the middle shoulder of the highway on in the others direction. On the place of the misfortune, there is no vangrail between the lane and the middle shoulder. The drivers drove frontally in on a German truck that in the direction of Veurne drove.
The vehicle caught at the same time fire. Witnesses of the misfortune could extinguish fast the fire, but for the Dutch driver, all help came too late. The drivers of the truck remained unhurt.
Through the misfortune stood there already fast three kilometers line. The traffic in the direction of France could but over a lane through.
"means church" is Middelkerke, a small town near the sea.
"Misfortune" = accident
That's more or less it. The distance between the opposing highways is about 30 m at that point. He must have skidded out of control from his side to the other one. The impact shows he hit thetruck at an angle.
Me thinks heavy and multiple mistakes. He paid for them with his life.
