Overview
- KNMI's yellow alert remains in force for hazardous winter weather, with intermittent rain, hail and wet snow creating rapidly changing, localized slipperiness near freezing temperatures.
- The A5 between IJmuiden and the Raasdorp junction is closed in both directions after a jack-knifed truck breached the central barrier, with traffic diverted via the A9, A4 and A10 and no reopening time confirmed.
- The ANWB says the Amsterdam-bound carriageway on the A5 is likely to reopen first once repairs finish on the damaged guardrail.
- Overnight crashes were reported nationwide, including a fatal collision in Rotterdam, though police have not confirmed that ice caused the incidents.
- Rijkswaterstaat and forecasters urge cautious driving and cycling, noting bridges, viaducts and cycle paths ice quickly and advising lower speeds, greater following distance and practical bike adjustments for grip.
