Earlier today there was live footage of a car that broke through the security at the place where the Dutch royal family was driving. About half an hour ago there was a press conference on national TV giving all the facts that are known right now. So far there is reason to believe that the action was planned. According to the first contact that the police had with the suspect there is information that the whole thing was planned.
On top of that, the Dutch TV also just let us hear the statement that was made towards the mayor that the driver had told the police it was not an accident. This was thanks to the Frysian TV that was apparent when someone broke the news to him. There are also unofficial statements from the public and military police that the car was stopped further up a few minutes before the tragedy. The car turned around and eye witnesses say he took a different route to the crossing where it all happened.
So far the amount of victims has gone up to 17 in total. Four people died on the spot or in the hospital, five people were severely injured and eight have light injuries. The suspect is not known by the police but has started an extensive investigation on multiple places in The Netherlands. The Queen also released a video statement expressing her sympathies and condolences to the victims, their family and the other people involved.
To show how close the victim got to the royal family there has been one picture posted of the driver in his car. The picture is taken within a few seconds after the impact and it shows the bus with the royal family in the background. Click here for the picture.
Warning! The picture is very graphic, viewer discretion is advised!
