Beneden-Leeuwen devastated after 74-year-old cyclist dies from collision: “This will surely cause a shock effect” | West Maas and Waal

The couple had right of way at the fateful intersection, but were likely overlooked by the truck driver, a 42-year-old man from Sonsbeck, Germany. He was arrested and questioned about the cause of the accident.

A day with a pitch-black thread of mourning, that’s it for the village with just under 7,000 souls. The two victims are familiar faces here. “I think half of the people in Beneden-Leeuwen know them,” says Gaby Lamers, a prominent villager.
