A microcar with a top speed of 45 km/h overturned at the Vaanplein interchange in Rotterdam on Tuesday afternoon. The vehicle had been driving on the A15 from Europoort and ended up upside down on the slip road to the A29.

The curve towards Zuidplein and the A29 was closed for a long time.

Police said the woman driving has a head injury and ambulance staff are checking her.

Police are investigating exactly what happened.

Rijkswaterstaat, the national roads agency, said the vehicle was lying upside down on the connecting road to the A29 and that the curve towards Zuidplein was closed.

Microcars (brommobielen) are not allowed on the motorway. Vehicles there must be able to reach at least 60 km/h, while a brommobiel manages 45 km/h at most.
