The grave is a small concrete cross. The text on the cross reads:

EN:

Text: Fatal accident J.Janssen + 19-2-1974.
Several stones were placed on the cross.
Found some information on internet with regards to the death:
"Accident cross of Jef Janssen who crashed here when he wanted to get pine green on February 19, 1974 to decorate carnival wagon in Vijlen. He was born in Vijlen in 1918 and was a farmer by profession.
