Video: Girl, 12, killed in collision with microcar in Amstelveen
A 12-year-old girl from Ouderkerk aan de Amstel was killed in a collision with a microcar on a bike path in Amstelveen on Wednesday. A second child sustained minor injuries.
According to the regional broadcaster NH, the girl and two other children around the same age were cycling on the bike path on Oranjebaan at around 4:30 p.m. when the microcar hit two of them.
First responders tried to resuscitate the seriously injured girl on the bike path. Paramedics took over when they arrived, but it was to no avail. She died at the scene.
The other hurt child fell during the collision and sustained minor injuries.
The driver of the microcar was taken to a police station for questioning. He was sent home afterward. The bike path was cordoned off for hours while the police investigated. They asked for witnesses and anyone with relevant dashcam footage to come forward.
