Bridge allision in Son en Breugel
In the afternoon of Nov 1, 2017, at 4.30 p.m. the "Engelina", 500 ts (EU-No.: 02300229), allided with the Houten Bridge in Son en Breugel. It slammed into the wooden beams in front of the bridge with its side, and as a consequence, an eletric cable broke. The bridge could no longer be closed. The bridge is widely used by students arriving by bike from Eindhoven. The ship was stuck under the bridge for an hour. A mechanic from Rijkswaterstaat meanwhile has repaired the cable. At 5.10 p.m. the bridge could be closed again and the barge could sail on.
