On 27 Augustus 2022 a truck drove off a dike in the hamlet Zuidzijde near the village Nieuw-Beijerland in the Dutch municipality Hoeksche Waard.

Under the dike there was a barbecue party by a local ice skating club at the time, near their outdoor skating rink (which was not frozen over as it was summer).

The truck (from a Spanish transport company) travelled on the Zuidzijdsedijk and then drove off the dike into a pop up canopy filled with people.

Before the accident the truck stood still on the T junction between the Zuidzijdsedijk and the Langeweg and appeared to take a wide turn to the latter.

[2] During an inquiry into the accident it was determined that the Spanish driver had traces of cocaine in his blood.
