07.00 – No trains between Breda and Tilburg University
There have been problems on the track between Breda and Tilburg since last night due to a broken overhead line at Gilze-Rijen. As a result, no trains will run between Breda and Tilburg University this morning. It was expected that the timetable could be resumed this morning at seven o’clock, but that appears not to be the case. The NS now expects that the trains will run normally again around half past eight.
A train may have caused a shower of sparks at Gilze-Rijen last night, which set the verge on fire and damaged the overhead wires. The fire brigade had to come in to put the fire out.
02.00 – Leurse Havenfeesten end on a minor note
Several riots and annoying incidents brought an early end to the Leurse Havenfeesten in Etten-Leur last night. This is reported by the police on social media. “Unfortunately no festive end for the Leurse Havenfeesten”, the police write.
Riots ensured that the party in the tent ended earlier than intended. The police came to Etten-Leur with several units. The partygoers then left the tent in the words of the police ‘reasonably pleasant’.
01.30 – Cyclist seriously injured
A cyclist was seriously injured in a collision with a car on Leenderweg in Eindhoven last night. The accident happened just after midnight near Korianderstraat. Due to the severity of the accident, an air ambulance landed nearby. Two ambulances also arrived at the scene of the accident.
A trauma doctor accompanied the victim to the hospital in an ambulance. The driver was taken to the police station by the police. How the accident happened is under investigation.
00.00 – Car on its side
A motorist ended up on its side on the Verdilaan in Heesch last night. That happened after she lost control of the wheel for unknown reasons and rammed into a parked car. Bystanders helped the woman out of the car. They also put her car back on its wheels.
The woman was checked by ambulance staff as a precaution, but she did not have to go to the hospital. The accident happened just before 9:30 last night. Both the woman’s car and the car she rammed sustained significant damage.
