Due to the entrapment and multiple victims, in addition to the police, the fire department, an ambulance, and a trauma helicopter responded to the incident. All victims were taken to the hospital.
Not three, but four victims
At the scene, three victims were found. In such situations, emergency assistance takes precedence. Therefore, the police often accompany victims to the hospital after an accident to speak with them about the incident after they have received treatment for their injuries. At that moment, it became clear that one person had reported to the hospital on their own with injuries from an accident. After some investigation, it was found that this person had also been in the vehicle involved in the accident on Zundertseweg. This brings the total number of victims to four.
