Suspect in fatal Zeeuws school camp accident released on bail pending trial
A judge ruled that 20-year-old Reinaldas J. may await his trial for causing a fatal accident in June at the Vogelwaarde site in Zeeland, where three children and a woman died, provided he adheres to strict conditions including no driving and a reporting requirement. The Public Prosecution Service suspects him of negligent homicide due to reckless driving speeds recorded up to 135 km/h in an 80 km/h zone, though initial suspicion of driving under the influence was dropped after blood tests showed THC levels were below the norm. While J.'s lawyer claims he feels immense guilt and did not intend the crash, the prosecution notes prior traffic violations and a faulty power steering system in his BMW, with further investigations required before the substantive hearing.
