Maastricht car crash leads to shoot-out

A 27-year-old man was lucky to escape with his life when shots were fired in his direction at the Widelanken in Maastricht, Thursday morning, when he tried to confront another motorist who damaged his car. Earlier that morning the man had witnessed from a distance how a black Volkswagen Golf damaged his car and drove off.
