After the accident, the boy was noticed by a bystander, according to police. He walked barefoot and in his pajamas and was put in a car to warm up. The bystander called 112, after which officers took action ‘at the end of the night shift’.
The boy was examined and received a comfort bear and hot chocolate at the desk. “There was no trace of the parents at that time,” said the police. Not much later, the police received a report of rammed, parked cars in Overvecht. “The name of the vehicle turned out to be the mother of the child, after which we made contact with her,” said the police. “She said that her child is very enterprising. She spoke to the child on the telephone and then we saw that he made a collision with his hands and made a steering movement. This gave us the suspicion that the child might have been driving. We then walked to the vehicle together with the mother and the child.”
To check whether the child was actually able to drive the car, the police ask if the child can give a demonstration. “The child opened the car with the key and put the key in the ignition. He started the car, moved his left foot to the clutch and hit the gas.”
