On Sunday, January 19, 2025, around 8:00 PM, a 36-year-old man was hit on a parking lot along Voorschoterweg in Valkenburg. A 29-year-old suspect was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter because there were indications that he may have intentionally hit the victim.
Investigations have since indicated that there seems to be no evidence of intentional collision.
