Road users are twice as likely to become victims of accidents since the outbreak of the new coronavirus and the measures taken against it. This is the opinion of traffic researcher Erik Donkers of VIA, a traffic engineering IT bureau.

According to Donkers, the higher risk is related to the behavior of road users that has changed due to the corona outbreak.

Scaling up regular care is difficult. In many cases, the capacity is far from the pre-crisis level, according to BNR inquiries from thirteen large and medium-sized hospitals.
