Child dies in accident between motorcycle and cargo bike in Alkmaar

A child died due to an accident between a motorcycle and a cargo bike on the Nicolaas Beetskade, located in the Bergerwegkwartie, in Alkmaar on Saturday around 12 p.m. The motorcyclist sustained minor injuries and was taken to a hospital.

The age of the child has not been disclosed to police. After the serious traffic accident, the child was taken to a hospital in a critical condition, but help was of no avail, the police said.

Rond 12.00 uur vond een ernstig verkeersongeval tussen een motor en een bakfiets plaats op de Nicolaas Beetskade in #Alkmaar. Hierbij is een kindje in kritieke toestand naar het ziekenhuis gebracht, hulp mocht helaas niet meer baten. Wij wensen de nabestaanden heel veel sterkte.
