A reporter on the spot, and drove on the A7 and described it as follows: “The road is impassable. I do not dare to brake. We slide in all directions. I see, just a car in the ditch. Truck against the guardrail. Really impassable. Everywhere blue and orange lamps. On all sides cars of the road.” An agent estimates that 15 accidents have occurred on the road Drachten – Heerenveen.
The road and the traffic information service (VID) reported several accidents in the north of the land, amongst other things, on the A28, A7, and A37 motorways. In fifteen minutes time, the VID almost seven accidents. That has now risen to 30 accidents in which the cars that are so damaged that a bergingsvoertuig should be called. Since Monday night, and there are already hundred of that kind of ijzelongelukken happened. Motorists are advised to adjust the speed, or better yet, to stay at home (ice = scary). And yes, the KNMI has also been code orange issued for large-scale smoothness by freezing. This smoothness holds preliminary.
