Higher sentence for killing two women and two children in Oud Gastel

A motorist from Roosendaal, Omar E., received a heavier sentence of six years and eight months for a fatal accident that killed two mothers and two children. The incident occurred in September 2022 when he drove over 150 km/h in a rented Mercedes on a road with a 50 km/h limit. He collided with a stationary car at high speed, resulting in one child surviving. The court emphasized the severity of the case due to multiple fatalities and the suffering caused to the survivors and families. E. was also banned from driving for ten years. This was not his first traffic offense, having previously lost his license for speeding.
