A serious accident occurred at a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) in Ermelo on Tuesday. A car drove through the garden of the childcare location and eventually crashed into the facade of the building. The destruction was considerable, according to multiple regional media outlets including de Stentor, De Gelderlander and NU.nl.
No injuries
According to reports from Harderwijksezaken.nl and ermelosweekblad.nl, among others, no injuries were sustained in the incident. This is remarkable given the extent of the damage and the fact that the accident took place on the premises of a daycare center, where young children are usually present. Ermelo.nieuws.nl reports that the car came to a halt against the front of the building.
Considerable material damage
The damage to both the building and the vehicle is extensive. De Stentor speaks of 'enormous destruction' and a facade that was smashed 'to smithereens'. NU.nl published video footage from the scene, showing the scale of the destruction. How the car ended up in the garden of the daycare center remains unclear from the available reports.
