Dutch police stated on Saturday that a number of individuals had died in an incident when a truck rolled right into a road get together within the city of Nieuw Beijerland within the south of the Netherlands.

Police, who didn’t give particular figures for casualties, stated it was investigating the incident, which occurred at about 7 p.m. (1700 GMT), round 30 km (19 miles) south of Rotterdam.

“At some point a truck went off the road and crashed into the party,” police spokesperson Elianne Mastwijk instructed native broadcaster Rijnmond.

It was unclear what had precipitated the incident, Mastwijk stated, or the exact quantity of people that had been killed or injured because the truck had not but been faraway from the positioning.

Pictures printed by Rijnmond and different native media web sites confirmed a heavy truck from a Spanish transport firm on the backside of a small dyke, amid damaged picnic tables.
