Dozens of ghost driving traffic jam avoiders on the A28 access road at Haren due to a tilted truck. Police are investigating images

Dozens of motorists drove into traffic on the A28 towards Groningen on Friday morning to avoid a traffic jam further on. This is reported by Rijkswaterstaat.

Rijkswaterstaat calls the incident bizarre on Twitter. The wrong-way drivers used the Haren ramp as an exit because a tilted truck caused delays on Julianaplein. What makes the incident extra strange is that, according to Rijkswaterstaat, there has been a continuous flow of traffic, the motorists could simply drive past the accident and would only be slightly delayed.

The police have been called in and are investigating the footage.
