Province of Utrecht – In this message we will keep you informed of the 112 news in the province of Utrecht. It is an overview of accidents, fires, crimes, traffic jams and disruptions in the region on Monday, May 6.
The explosion that took place on the night of May 4 to 5 at a flat on Dorbeendreef in the Utrecht district of Overvecht was probably caused by a fireworks bomb. The police reported this today. Two front doors were damaged in the explosion, but no one was injured. The police are looking for witnesses.
The power outage that left 564 households in Meerkerk without power has been resolved. At 4:01 p.m., all households had power again, Stedin said. The cause of the power outage turned out to be damage caused by excavation work.
The cause of the bus fire on the Utrechtseweg in De Bilt is still unclear. This is what a spokesperson for Qbuzz says, which includes U-OV. It is being investigated how the fire could have started at the back of a bus.
Last night it was discovered that more than a hundred paving stones had been stolen from the bridge over the Eemnesservaart in Eemnes. This left a hole in the road surface of about one and a half square meters.
Since the polder is not illuminated, this creates a dangerous situation, especially at night, especially for cyclists. It is not clear whether the perpetrator only had destruction in mind, or whether, for example, he lacked stones in the garden.
This morning, employees from the municipalities of Blaricum, Eemnes and Laren repaired the road surface.
Ninety graves were destroyed this weekend at the Daelwijck cemetery in the Overvecht district of Utrecht. The damage varies from minor damage to broken gravestones. The police started an investigation.
In Meerkerk, 564 households are without power this afternoon. The cause of the malfunction is unknown. Technicians from grid operator Stedin are busy with repair work. It is not known when residents will have power again.
The lanes on the A28 at the Maarn and De Bilt exits are now free again. The recovery work has been completed, reducing the traffic jam.
An accident happened this morning around 10.10 am on the A28 between the Maarn exit and the De Bilt exit. Four cars were involved in the accident. One person was injured, but is recoverable. The accident causes a long traffic jam.
A car fell into the water on the Bovendijk near Wilnis this morning around 9.35 am. The car left the road next to a road narrowing and ended up half in the water. The driver was able to get out of the car himself and was not injured.
