DE FALOM – A police car was hit Thursday while protecting a road accident on Centrale As near De Falom. The police car, equipped with flashing orange lights, was positioned to assist a recovery vehicle in safely removing a car from the ditch.
During this work, a traffic jam occurred in which a motorist swerved at a relatively low speed and collided with the police car.
The police car was strategically placed in the so-called “fend-off” position to protect both the recovery vehicle and road users.
This is not the first time such an accident has occurred. In July last year a van collided with a stationary police car on the N31, seriously injuring an officer from Burgum police station.
This morning two accidents occurred on Centrale As. In both accidents all those involved were unharmed.
On Thursday, on the basis of a very loosely compiled case file, a 28-year-old man was acquitted of assault with a beer bottle.
In coastal areas, Wednesday evenings after 10pm can become dangerously slippery.
