The police arrested a 33-year-old man from Zevenbergschen Hoek this morning for involvement in the fatal accident on the A59 near Sprang-Capelle. A family from Raamsdonksveer died in the accident.
The man who has now been arrested was the driver of one of the four cars involved in the accident that happened on Friday evening, March 10. A preliminary test that was done fairly immediately after the accident showed that the driver had probably consumed too much alcohol and had used drugs. It has yet to be determined whether he was under the influence.
The investigation into the cause of the accident is still ongoing. Nevertheless, the police have enough suspicion to arrest the man now, she said this morning. It will be determined on Friday whether the man will remain detained longer.
