Overview
- Jijwasookdaar.nl is now live, offering a searchable, opt-in meeting place for people linked to specific road incidents in the Netherlands.
- Victims, relatives, bystanders and helpers can find one another to exchange information and receive peer support to aid recovery.
- Slachtofferhulp and police say they often receive requests to connect people after crashes but cannot share personal data because of privacy law.
- Early use includes a post by first-aider Ilse Rijke seeking contact with others involved in a serious A27 crash near Gorinchem.
- The launch comes as official figures show roughly 126,000 accidents last year, with 675 deaths and at least 7,000 serious injuries.
