70-Year-Old Woman Loses Two Fingers in Accident, Involved Tram Driver (67) Acquitted
A Rotterdam court acquitted a 67-year-old RET tram driver of negligence regarding a March 30, 2023 accident that caused a 70-year-old woman to lose two fingers and break her shinbone. The judge determined the victim’s error in judgment was insufficient for conviction despite the prosecutor’s claims. The retired former hockey international suffered depression and felt unsupported by her employer during legal proceedings. The acquittal prevents a criminal record, allowing her to pursue emigration plans to Austria unaffected by visa restrictions.
