In the Brabantian town of Uden, a driver caused a collision with a police car while driving a stolen vehicle. An officer was injured in the incident and was taken to the hospital for observation. The police reported that the car was significantly damaged due to the impact of the crash.

The incident occurred after police had previously spotted the stolen car, which was connected to a caravan, in the vicinity of Volkel. Officers signaled the driver to stop, but this was ignored. A passenger in the stolen vehicle quickly unhitched the caravan before the driver sped off toward Uden.

In Uden, the collision with the police car then took place. According to reports from local media, the police vehicle was severely damaged in the crash. The driver of the stolen car fled the scene after the collision.

It is still unclear whether anyone has been arrested in connection with this incident. The police are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the event, including the earlier attempt to stop the vehicle near Volkel.

The situation raises questions about the response to stolen vehicles and the safety risks for officers during such chases. The police have not yet released further details regarding the condition of the injured officer.

The involved authorities have taken note of the matters related to the accident and are expected to provide more information later regarding the progress of the investigation.
