A car crashed into a tree on the Nijverheidsweg in Assen last night. The driver was initially missing, but police found the victim two blocks away.
It is not clear whether slippery road conditions played a role in the accident. When police arrived at the accident, the driver was not present at the vehicle.
The driver was eventually found in a house on Potterbakkerstraat near the accident. Here, ambulance personnel checked and treated the victim’s injuries; a trip to the hospital was not necessary.
It is not known why the driver decided to leave the scene of the accident.
