Overview
- The OM confirmed three deaths and one injury after a car caught fire following a crash on Bezuidenhoutseweg shortly after a failed police stop, identifying the deceased as a 20-year-old woman, a 21-year-old woman and a 24-year-old man from The Hague.
- The injured passenger is a 21-year-old woman from The Hague, and the Rijksrecherche has been notified to review the incident because it followed police action.
- Forensic teams completed on‑scene work in the Hague case and reopened the road, with reconstruction and camera‑footage analysis continuing under OM direction.
- In Steenbergen, a 21-year-old woman from Dinteloord died in a crash involving a city bus, several others sustained minor injuries, and police are examining whether the vehicles hit each other or crashed separately.
- A driver reported mud and slick conditions on the Dinteloordseweg about 30 minutes before the Steenbergen fatality, police later said the road was contaminated and slippery, and the mayor voiced shock as specialists probe potential causes.
