Cyclist Run Over by Van in Nuenen

Police say the collision is under investigation and the case highlights pressure on regional emergency services from a cluster of separate incidents.

Overview

  • A female cyclist was seriously injured after being struck and then run over by a delivery van at the Europalaan/Vallestap junction in Nuenen and was rushed to the Tilburg trauma centre.
  • Police are investigating how the collision occurred while first responders treated the scene and accompanied the patient to hospital.
  • Emergency services deployed two ambulances, a trauma helicopter and a trauma doctor, and Rijkswaterstaat closed a lane on the A58 to speed and secure ambulance transfer.
  • Regional live 112 reports recorded multiple other incidents over the same days, including multi-vehicle crashes with injuries, two migrant living units destroyed by fire, a metal pipe on the Teuge railway that ProRail treats as suspected sabotage, and thefts from Bridge to Liberation’s production office.
  • Locals say the Europalaan area has a history of collisions and the current investigation could prompt renewed safety measures and continued strain on traffic and emergency response in the region.
