THE HAGUE, Netherlands -- Two children and an adult were killed Thursday in the rural southern Netherlands when a car struck a group of cyclists who were on a school camping trip, local emergency services said.

Four more children were seriously injured in the incident. They were taken to hospitals in the Netherlands and nearby Belgium for treatment. The dead and injured were part of a group of 14 schoolchildren and two chaperones, the Zeeland Security Region organization said in a statement.

Police are investigating the cause of the incident on a provincial road that runs between farmers' fields near the small town of Vogelwaarde, some 200 kilometers (125 miles) south of Amsterdam.

There was no immediate word from authorities on the driver of the car. A photo displayed on Dutch media showed a car, with its windshield smashed and hood damaged, in a field next to the road.

Such incidents involving multiple cyclists are rare in the Netherlands, where bicycle riding is woven into everyday life and almost all roads have dedicated cycle lanes.

No further details were immediately available.

Sounds like another ("I"slam), a deliberate attack/multi murder, muslem behind the wheel...

“no immediate word from authorities on the driver of the car”

Sounds suspicious.

What kind of car does that to people? A Mohammed sedan?

A brief refresher: (It's coming folks)

Do the Netherlands have an issue with burqas?

AI Overview

The Netherlands had a major, years-long political controversy over burqas and niqabs. It culminated in a partial ban on face-covering clothing. The Ban at a Glance:

The Law: A "religion-neutral" law passed in 2018 and enacted in August 2019. It bans all face coverings (burqas, niqabs, ski masks, and full-face helmets) in public buildings, public transit, hospitals, and schools.

The Rules: Unlike France and Belgium, it is still legal to wear a burqa on the street. Violators face a fine ranging from €150 to €450.

A car? You mean like a Waymo? Just some rogue self-autonomous motor vehicle went berserk? I better keep an eye on my Roomba.

Sounds suspicious.

I suspect the journalists were afraid to question the witnesses and/or the witnesses are afraid to describe the driver. I further suspect their fear is indicative of an oppressive government.

Don’t they usually say there is no evidence of terrorism, within about 5 seconds after the incident? 🤔

Well, process of elimination says it wasn't a Muslim woman, so.....

Coulter’s Law in effect here.

If this is REALLY just a local accident - an unintentional tragedy that happens in any rural area in any country on any day of the week - then why is it being picked up as international news by ABC??? Very suspicious.
