Man (20) cycles without lights on the A59: ‘Luckily he can live to tell the tale’

A twenty-year-old man from Poland was taken off the A59 by the police on Sunday evening. The man was riding his bicycle on the highway, without lights. The control room received several calls from concerned motorists.

It all happened on Sunday evening around half past eight. The man first drove with the traffic in the direction of Drunen. “But later he decided to turn around and cycle in the opposite direction to Waalwijk,” the Waalwijk police said.

Officers quickly arrived on the scene after reports from other road users and removed the man from the road. He was taken to the police station.

The man will receive several fines, as can be read in the police message. “Luckily he can tell the story.”
