As “Algemeen Dagblad” writes, a note even adorns the windshield of the car. “When will this wreckage be removed?” “, can we read. Because every passerby who has the misfortune to drive a few meters from the vehicle is importuned by this terrible smell…
On site, huge black flies leave the passenger compartment through a crack in the window on the passenger side… And on closer inspection, we understand why…
Because indeed, the vehicle is filled with rotten food, in particular meat according to our colleagues, with thousands of maggots crawling everywhere… Let’s think of the high temperatures of the last few weeks… All the photos can be found on the site of our colleagues from HLN by clicking here (sensitive souls refrain…).
“A threat to public health”
“Law enforcement cannot enforce the law because the vehicle does not fall under the category of wreckage or is not in default,” a spokesperson for the municipality of Delft had told “Algemeen Dagblad “.
But why is the vehicle abandoned in this condition? “I heard that the owner had been arrested after a chase,” they say on the spot. “But if that’s not a public health threat, then I don’t know what is.” Indeed, the situation could no longer continue.
Finally, after six weeks, the car was removed on Friday evening by a recovery company. Phew, we finally breathe.
