Truck driver Danny feels extremely guilty. She almost hit a moped rider in Eindhoven on Thursday morning with her dark red truck. She therefore left a special message for the moped rider on the radio program Afslag Zuid.
Danny from Helvoirt is fifty years old and has been a truck driver since she was eighteen. She was driving at the T-junction at Mispelhoefstraat in Eindhoven at half past five in the morning on Thursday, when a moped rider was almost knocked off his feet. By Danny. In her red truck.
“I saw you too late and I wanted to say sorry,” she says in the radio program. “The gentleman came around the cycle path, but I saw him much too late. I then turned left, while I should have turned right to have a quick chat and say sorry, but that was no longer possible,” she says.
The moment stayed with her. “I had to drive to Maastricht that day and I still kept thinking about it. Damn, I should have said something, I thought.” That’s why she contacted Omroep Brabant. She then apologized live on the radio. “No, it’s not meant as a call, but mainly to say sorry. The moped rider will probably be shocked.”
