Elderly woman killed in collision with police vehicle in Winterswijk

NL Times  

An elderly woman was killed Monday morning when a police vehicle struck her mobility scooter on the N319 near the German border, authorities said. However, they later issued a correction on X, formerly Twitter, clarifying that the investigation would instead be conducted by the North Netherlands police unit. “The investigation is being carried out by a different unit because the East Netherlands unit is directly involved,” police said in a statement. Some may wish to return to duty quickly, while others may need time.” This is not the first fatal accident involving Dutch emergency vehicles.
