The 28-year-old Hagenaar who was arrested after a fatal accident in Rotterdam on Monday is suspected of driving under the influence. Two cars collided head-on in the accident. Three people died, including a 36-year-old Helmonder.
In addition to the Helmonder, a 35-year-old woman and a 7-year-old girl from Spijkenisse also died. The accident occurred at a junction on the Groene Kruisweg.
Blood test
According to a police spokesperson, a blood test must still determine with certainty whether the suspect was under the influence.
The driver was injured and taken to hospital after the accident and therefore a breathalyzer could not be taken from him, according to a spokesperson. He was detained in hospital.
