The investigation is still ongoing. The Public Prosecutor and police are still doing technical investigation, speaking to witnesses and questioning the suspect. No further information can be made public at this time, in the interest of the investigation.
The incident happened just after 4:00 a.m. on Monday, on Mensheggerweg, near Pinkpop's campsite B. A white van hit four people. A 35-year-old man from Heerlen was killed. He was working as a volunteer at Pinkpop. The three others - a 30-year-old man from Landgraaf, a 26-year-old man from Heerlen and a 23-year-old woman from Heerlen - are still in hospital in critical condition.
