A man knocked over a traffic bollard and a traffic sign in the Waddenzeestraat in Den Helder around nine o’clock last night. When police arrived at the van, the suspect had already fled.
According to bystanders, the driver would have driven another 300 meters after the collisions until the bus came to a stop. He continued on foot. He, a 39-year-old man from Amsterdam, was arrested after a short search, the police reported.
He was taken to the station for a breathalyzer test. It turned out that the suspect had drunk too much. His driver’s license has been taken away. The Public Prosecution Service is continuing to investigate the case.
