15-year-old girl dies from injuries after bus accident

The 15-year-old girl who was critically injured in a bus accident near Zwartewaal last week has died from her injuries in the hospital. This information comes from a family representative.

After the accident, the teenager was trapped under mud for half an hour. The regional bus she was in collided with a car on a provincial road and ended up in a ditch.

Initially, the fire department rescued eight people from the bus, four of whom were slightly injured. A passenger later mentioned that a girl who was seated in front of her had not yet been found.

She was eventually discovered under a thick layer of mud near the driver’s seat. The teenager was transported with severe injuries to Erasmus MC in Rotterdam, where she passed away this morning.

The bereaved family stated, “We have no words for our loss at this time,” thanking those who offered support in recent days. They also request privacy from the media to process their grief.
