A suitcase was the culprit last April. The 26-year-old owner had a fight with his girlfriend and had put the suitcase on the railing of the De Koppeling viaduct. Probably the thing fell through pushing and pulling with his then girlfriend, reports RTV Drenthe.
The steel suitcase fell on the car where the victim was sitting with his wife and daughter. The vehicle was a total loss. “I saw that suitcase fall and knew I had nowhere to go. I was driving 90 to 100 kilometers per hour and could not swerve, because there was a truck next to me and a car behind me, ”said the man in court on Monday. He may still have an operation on his back. He still has a hernia.
The arguing couple, which has since split up, has to pay damages of 2000 euros.
