In Brief

On Monday afternoon, a camper van left the road on the A6 slip road in Lelystad. Two passengers were injured and evacuated by air ambulance. The slip road was closed.

On Monday, 20 April 2026, around 15:10–15:30, a camper van crashed on the slip road of the A6 motorway in Lelystad, Netherlands. According to sources, the camper left the road at the exit, then went down the entrance ramp and came to a stop in the verge. Two passengers were injured (some sources say several people).

A medical helicopter was deployed and landed near the motorway. The injured were taken to hospital by ambulance. The slip road towards Almere and the exit from the A6 towards Lelystad were fully closed for several hours.

A separate incident on the same A6 occurred on 18 April around 22:30 near Emmeloord: a converted van camper overturned, injuring the driver. The recovery was delayed due to a suspected gas leak, which turned out to be unfounded.

Fire in Delft destroys property of 77-year-old caravan owner

A fire at the Schieweg industrial estate in Delft destroyed the belongings of Jan van Drunen (77). His boat and truck trailer were engulfed in flames, and his caravan was written off. Van Drunen was uninsured, as insurers reportedly refuse to cover fairground workers, classifying them as caravan dwellers. His son bought him a second-hand caravan, but it lacks shower and water. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
