Several motorists have taken pictures of the fatal collision that took place on Saturday afternoon on the Backer en Ruebweg in Breda. The police reacted shocked to this on Facebook.
Police were tipped off that several people were posting photos and videos on social media of the crash, which killed a motorcyclist, and the assistance provided to the victim. “Bizarre and above all disrespectful!”, emphasizes a spokesperson.
‘Filming this is not fun and not smart’
“Think about how you would feel if it concerns a family member or friend of yours. Then the last thing you want is images of your loved one being shared online,” explains the spokesperson.
“Posting the images is already a huge step too far. In the first place, those recordings should not be made at all. Taking out your mobile phone to film an incident or accident is not cool, not fun, not interesting and not smart. Just don’t do it!”
Post
Motorists who took pictures of the accident site while driving can expect mail from the Central Judicial Collection Agency.
