The emergency services came into action around 2:30 a.m. after a report was received about an accident with a boat in which no other vessels were involved. Two people were found near the Mergeldijk, one of whom was injured and received medical attention. One of them was on the shore, the other was in the water, says a police spokeswoman. The boat they had been in was not there.
The emergency services were told by the two people on board that there were two more people on board. The search has been going on ever since. It is still unclear how the accident happened, according to the police.
