Martijn van Eijzeren, known as Stuntkabouter, allegedly drove at excessive speed and under the influence of drugs when involved in a serious traffic accident in France that resulted in the death of director Ilya Vierhout. Sources close to the investigation told RTL Boulevard that Van Eijzeren did not brake or attempt to avoid the collision before impact, and may have fallen asleep at the wheel. The specific drugs involved and their impact on his driving remain unknown. Van Eijzeren was traveling with Vierhout after attending the Cannes Film Festival; Vierhout died several days later. The victim's lawyer, Sébas Diekstra, declined to comment until official statements are released.
