Four killed in crash on Hague highway

Four people died in an accident on the A12 highway near Prins Clausplein in The Hague during the early hours of Wednesday morning. At Ypenburg station, the car carrying the four victims ended up on its side and crashed into a traffic portal, NU.nl reports.

Multiple ambulances as well as a mobile medial team responded to the scene. The A12 was closed in both directions near the Prins Clausplein junction, until around 6:00 a.m. The highway was released after the heavily damaged wreck was removed.

The police confirmed to NU.nl that four victims died, but can not yet give any information about their identity. Witnesses told the newspaper that they were four young men.

On Monday another four young men were killed in a one-sided accident on the A1 near Deventer.
