On 27 Augustus 2022 a truck drove off a dike in the hamlet Zuidzijde near the village Nieuw-Beijerland in the Dutch municipality Hoeksche Waard. This accident caused seven deaths and seven injuries.

Under the dike there was a barbecue party by a local ice skating club at the time, near their outdoor skating rink (which was not frozen over as it was summer). The truck (from a Spanish transport company) travelled on the Zuidzijdsedijk and then drove off the dike into a pop up canopy filled with people. It was there where the seven fatal casualties fell. Before the accident the truck stood still on the T junction between the Zuidzijdsedijk and the Langeweg and appeared to take a wide turn to the latter.

Seven people died in the accident and there were seven injuries. Originally there had been six fatal casualties counted but later an unborn baby was counted as a victim as well.

During an inquiry into the accident it was determined that the Spanish driver had traces of cocaine in his blood.
