Police car aims for a shorter route, but ends up above the ditch

A police car left the road on Graaf Engelbertlaan in Breda. The photo shows the car dangling half above the water.

Things went wrong when the officer came off the highway and wanted to immediately turn back onto the A16 due to an emergency message on the other side. The part through the verge is then taken more often, in order to avoid the busy intersection.

The wet and soft verge then caused the police car to slide away and end up half above the water. Both officers in the car were unharmed. A tow truck is on its way to tow the car away.
