Dutch parade attacker driver dies

Source: BBC

The driver of a car that killed six people after crashing into crowds watching a Dutch royal parade on Thursday has died from his injuries.

Karst Tates, a 38-year-old Dutch national, was critically injured after his attempted attack on the Dutch royal family, and died in hospital overnight.

His car crashed into a monument after ploughing through bystanders who were marking Queen's Day in Apeldoorn.

The car narrowly missed a bus which was carrying Queen Beatrix and her family.

1. Unspeakable.

Talk about wrong place wrong time. RIP to the victims, and condolences to their families.

Awful stuff.
