Netherlands 112 Roundup: RET Fires Nightbus Driver, Three Arrested Over Oosterhout Getaway Car

Rolling 112 updates trace a day of traffic disruptions, emergency responses, evolving criminal probes across several provinces.

Overview

  • Transport operator RET dismissed the Schiedam nightbus driver for breaching procedures after he drove a 12‑meter bus into a narrow street, hit bollards and parked cars, leaked diesel, then continued his route.
  • Police arrested three men—aged 18 and 24 from Amsterdam and 19 from Zoetermeer—on suspicion of supplying the car used in the March 28 Oosterhout shootings that killed three men.
  • Investigators say a suspect has been identified in the June 29 Eindhoven café assault after footage was shared and an anonymous tip came in, with no arrest reported.
  • The A28 north of Assen reopened around midday after an overturned beet truck closed lanes toward Groningen; no injuries were reported and repairs were completed.
  • In Zeeland, a police pursuit of a stolen van ended in Ritthem with a crash into a tree; a 12‑year‑old passenger was hospitalized and the 15‑year‑old driver was detained, while a 14‑year‑old was released to a guardian.
