Death Confirmed After Nunspeet Parade Crash as Dutch Probes and Fire Service Thefts Intensify

Police say the collision appears accidental with no signs of alcohol or drugs.

Overview

  • Police confirmed that one victim of Monday’s Nunspeet Lichtjestour crash has died, with five adults still hospitalized and two in serious condition after nine people were taken to hospital.
  • The 56-year-old driver remains in custody as is standard after serious traffic incidents, and investigators report no evidence of intent or intoxication while the cause is still being examined.
  • Detectives advanced parallel cases, arresting a 40-year-old man after the fatal stabbing of a 73-year-old woman in Schalkwijk and detaining two suspects in the McDonald’s parking-lot shooting in Barendrecht.
  • Fire brigades reported a wave of break-ins at stations in Zundert, Bladel and Heeze targeting hydraulic rescue tools, prompting tighter security and police surveillance given the impact on emergency response.
  • The Public Prosecution Service said it will not appeal the court’s tbs order in the Erasmusbrug fatal stabbing case, noting the measure can be extended as long as risk persists.
