The first accidents occurred on the highways of West and Central Brabant due to slipperiness. This was the case for the A4 near Steenbergen and Willemstad and the A58 near Bergen op Zoom, police said. It was also a hit in Tilburg. The police control room is overflowing with reports of dozens of collisions. And in the meantime, people call to report slipperiness, but shippers don’t wait. Furthermore, the police, like Rijkswaterstaat, recommend that you only travel if necessary.
In the provinces of Zeeland and South Holland, code orange has been in place since 5pm this afternoon due to black ice. The alert will be in effect for the whole country from half past eight. This is due to the slipperiness caused by the ice.
