Local | By Correspondent November 17, 2023

WILLEMSTAD - On Wednesday, the Public Prosecutor demanded a 240-hour community service sentence and a 2-year driving ban against the driver involved in a fatal traffic accident in August. 

Two roadworkers lost their lives in the accident on Schottegatweg-Noord after being hit at a speed of approximately 120 kilometers per hour, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle. 

The driver's attorney pleaded for acquittal, claiming that the signs for roadworks were incorrectly placed.
