A 42-year-old man who drove in last May on two cycling agents on the Lindenbleek in Etten-Leur has received a prison sentence of two and a half years and a two-year driving denial. The court in Breda decided that on Thursday. A cop was slightly injured in the collision.
The man from Etten-Leur drove over the road after the harbor parties in Etten-Leur. Agents on the bike gave him a stop sign because they wanted to address him in his driving behavior. At that time, the man drove into the agents at high speed.
The agent was able to jump off her bike just in time, but was slightly injured on her hand. She was taken to the hospital for a check.
Under the influence
The man was immediately arrested after the collision. He turned out to be under the influence of alcohol and drove faster than allowed. The court counts heavily the man that he drove into the agents. The incident has had a lot of impact on them.
In addition, the man was previously convicted of driving under the influence. The man has received an unconditional prison sentence of two and a half years and a two -year driving cancellation.
