At a petrol station on the A1 motorway near Muiden, a driver under the influence of drink and drugs rammed a stationary car and then one of the pumps. Both the driver’s car and the pump caught fire in the process.

The man reportedly entered the petrol station premises without braking. The owner of the car that was subsequently rammed was lucky: he had just left his vehicle and was not injured by the questionable action of the other road user. The latter, however, did hit one of the pumps with his company car, causing fire and a lot of material damage.

With the police

Various media report that the man and his co-driver did not have to go to hospital after being checked. However, the driver was allowed to go with another emergency service. He was found to be under the influence of drink and drugs and was detained. When Esso Honswijck can reopen for customers was not yet clear on Sunday afternoon, as the damage was considerable.
