Two Rotterdam Motorway Crashes Snarl Traffic, With A20 Still Partly Closed

The afternoon A20 collision generated about 70 minutes of delay after a car hit a truck and overturned.

Overview

  • On the A20 in Rotterdam-Noord toward Gouda, a car collided with a truck and flipped onto its roof, leading to major congestion.
  • Two lanes on the A20 were shut initially, one lane has reopened, and one lane remains closed during recovery.
  • Drivers have been advised to detour via knooppunt Zestienhoven using the A13 and A16.
  • The car’s driver sustained minor injuries and was taken to a hospital for precautionary checks.
  • Earlier on the A29 near knooppunt Vaanplein, a rear-end crash closed two lanes and caused roughly an hour of delay before clearing, with the fire brigade called for a battery issue and queues also forming on the N217.
