Both cars were approaching each other on the Altenaweg in Waalwijk around 12:30 PM on Thursday. At some point, one of the drivers ended up on the lane for oncoming traffic. As a result, his oncoming driver, a 55-year-old resident of Berkel-Enschot, could not avoid a collision and the cars crashed head-on into each other. Several bystanders and emergency services provided first aid. The driver who was on the wrong side of the road was unsuccessfully resuscitated. He died at the scene. The other driver was taken to the hospital with serious injuries.
