Two small children were found with stab wounds in a house on Janus Rooijakkersstraat in Moergestel on Saturday evening. The wrong-way driver who was seriously injured on the A58 earlier in the evening is the father. The police confirmed this on Saturday evening.
According to a police spokesperson, the children are younger than ten years old. They were taken to hospital with serious injuries. An air ambulance was called. It is not clear where the children’s mother is at this time. She may be staying abroad, the spokesperson said.
According to the police, it appears that the crash on the A58 was caused by a wrong-way driver. Several cars were involved in the collision. The wrong-way driver was taken to hospital with serious injuries. Blood was taken from him to see if he was under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Three people were slightly injured.
Two eyewitnesses saw a car without lights approaching them head-on. The cars collided from the side. Miraculously, the eyewitnesses were unharmed.
It is not yet clear what happened in the house and on the A58. The police are investigating further. According to a spokesperson, there are many questions and few answers. The police are calling on people who have more information to come forward.
