LEIDSCHENDAM – The fire brigade searched for possible victims for more than an hour on Saturday evening after a boat sank in Leidschendam. In the end, no one was found.

Around eight o’clock the fire brigade received a report about a boat that had hit something along the Vlietweg and had sunk. A light was burning on the boat, which led to the suspicion that there might be people on board.

Because it concerned a large search area and there was uncertainty about possible victims, the fire brigade deployed various diving units. A crane of the Leidschendam-Voorburg fire brigade lifted the boat so that divers could also search in and under the boat.

Search of more than an hour
After an hour, no victims were found and the search was discontinued, says a spokesperson for the Haaglanden Security Region. Also, bystanders who saw the collision could not confirm that there were people on board.
