Overview
- KNMI issued code yellow for slippery conditions after the season’s first night frost, and municipalities deployed gritters on key roads and cycle paths.

- Morning traffic saw multiple collisions, including at least five crashes on the A4/A12 near The Hague and a serious wreck that closed the Rietweg near Biddinghuizen, causing long delays and detours.
