Multiple Crashes on A50 Near Sint-Oedenrode as Slippery Roads Persist

Rijkswaterstaat says overnight salting requires traffic to take effect.

Overview

  • Rijkswaterstaat confirmed several weather-related accidents on the A50 near Sint-Oedenrode on Friday.
  • In early incidents, one car overturned toward Eindhoven, and another driver slid toward Nijmegen and was taken to hospital with unknown injuries.
  • Around midday, a collision involving multiple vehicles was reported, with no information yet on injuries.
  • Highways were salted overnight and in the morning, but lighter traffic left the salt insufficiently driven into the surface to prevent slipping.
  • Officials urged motorists to slow down, follow advisory speeds, and set out well prepared, adding that no special cause beyond road conditions has been identified.
