Regional Liveblogs Track Fires and Crashes Across Rijnmond, Gelderland and Brabant

Local outlets ran daylong emergency liveblogs compiling separate incidents across the three provinces.

Overview

  • At Van Gerrevink in Apeldoorn, a fire in an extraction unit prompted an evacuation as firefighters worked on hotspots, with officials reporting no smoke nuisance nearby.
  • A three‑car collision on the A59 near Waspik involved grandparents with three grandchildren returning from Efteling, who were uninjured, while the middle driver was taken to hospital and the motorway faced lengthy delays.
  • On the Leeuwenakkerweg (N209) in Bergschenhoek, a car overturned around 18:00, injuring the driver who was transported to hospital, while the other motorist was unharmed and a tow truck was required.
  • A single‑vehicle crash on the A20 at Terbregseplein around 12:55 left only one lane open and caused over an hour of congestion before Rijkswaterstaat reopened the road at about 14:00.
  • In Rotterdam‑West just before 03:30, a parked car burned with no injuries reported, witnesses saw someone depart on a scooter, and police are investigating possible arson.
