Car in Water in Doezum: Injuries Reported – Netherlands News

A car ended up in a canal in Doezum, Groningen province, on Saturday, resulting in two injuries, one of them serious, according to reports from Dutch news outlets. The incident occurred on the Kaleweg in Doezum.

Emergency services responded to the scene after receiving reports of the vehicle in the water. Details regarding the circumstances leading to the car entering the canal remain unclear. Both occupants of the vehicle were extracted and transported to a hospital for treatment. The severity of the injuries suggests a potentially complex rescue operation.

The incident coincided with a separate incident at the TT Circuit Assen, where a motorcyclist was injured.
