How fast was a motorist driving on the Ringbaan-Noord in Tilburg on 17 June this year when he fatally struck a 25-year-old cyclist? Police and justice hope to get the answer through a reconstruction, which was held Monday evening.
At the spot where a cyclist wanted to cross the Ringbaan-Noord in the night of 16 to 17 June, a gray Volkswagen was standing this Monday evening. It was packed with measuring equipment. The accident on the now closed road was, as it were, imitated.
The aim was to find out how fast the motorist was traveling on the road when he hit a crossing cyclist. The reconstruction started at eight o’clock in the evening and lasted until about eleven o’clock.
The fatal accident happened in the middle of the night earlier this year. A 23-year-old man from Amsterdam was driving the car. This has been confiscated. The 25-year-old cyclist died in hospital from his injuries.
