Prosecution: Speeding driver caused fatal accident on A12 under influence of nitrous oxide and cannabis
The Dutch Public Prosecution Service is seeking four years in prison for B.A., who caused a fatal crash on the A12 near Harmelen on October 3 while driving at least 149 km/h under the influence of cannabis and nitrous oxide. His friend died from head injuries sustained in the collision with a truck. Prosecutors argue that B.A.'s reckless driving and high risk of recidivism warrant immediate imprisonment, despite his lawyer's request for acquittal based on insufficient evidence regarding drug use at the time of the crash.
