The accident occurred on Thursday evening, March 6, around 8:30 PM. Police investigations indicate that the 22-year-old driver from Tilburg was likely driving on the wrong side of the road, leading to a collision with an oncoming car. That car had three occupants: a 25-year-old man from Dongen, a 30-year-old man from Sprang-Capelle, and a minor boy. The 25-year-old from Dongen died at the scene. The other three victims were urgently taken to different hospitals.
It is still unclear how the 22-year-old driver ended up on the wrong side of the road. It was also not possible to take a blood or breath test. The police continue their investigation to determine the exact circumstances of the accident.
