A pedestrian was injured around 8 a.m. this morning when a car came out of nowhere on the sidewalk on Stommeerweg in Aalsmeer. The driver, who, according to police, may have been intoxicated, also hit a lamppost.
The pedestrian was taken to hospital with injuries. The lamppost broke and fell over. The car was heavily damaged. The road was closed for a while due to the damage, but has since reopened.
A police spokesman said the driver may have been under the influence. This is still under investigation at the police station. He is currently being interrogated.
