Minor under the influence of drugs crashes into house with car

A minor crashed into a house on the Dreefseweg in Kaatsheuvel on Sunday morning with a car in which two other occupants were sitting. According to the police, the house was badly damaged, according to a police spokesperson, as was a parked car. However, no one was injured.

On Sunday, around 6 a.m., the people on Dreefseweg were woken up by the crash. The police spokesperson did not say how old the driver was. However, it is known that the young driver did not have a valid driver's license and was probably under the influence of alcohol and drugs. The house had to be propped up after the accident.

The damage to the house and the two cars is extensive, according to Omroep West. "Miraculously, there are no injuries," the police shared on Instagram. The police have filed criminal charges against the underage driver.

Kaatsheuvel is located in the municipality of Loon op Zand, Noord-Brabant.
