The accident happened at the intersection of Leuvenumseweg and Watertorenweg, after one of the cars had to brake. A car went off the road and ended up in the embankment. The vehicle collided with a tree. Two occupants of the car were injured.
All three cars were towed by a recovery company. The Leuvenumseweg was closed in both directions for some time.
The Leuvenumseweg is now notorious. It is not the first time that things have gone wrong on the provincial road. In late June, a cyclist was seriously injured after being kicked by a car at the crosswalk. That was the second accident that month.
Neighbors don’t care anymore. This is how Gerwin van Haarlem and Lucile de Zeeuw told at the beginning of July the Stentor that they keep accurate records of the number of accidents. On average, there are 12 incidents per year. We are talking about accidents with injuries, for which the emergency services have to turn out.” They are sick of the many accidents and argue for a speed limit.
