Two teenagers aged 12 and 13 have been hospitalised with life-threatening injuries after a car accident near the Erasmus bridge in Rotterdam on Monday evening.

All six people in the car were hurt when it hit the concrete central reservation and flipped over, ending up on the other side of the road.

The 20-year old driver, a 23-year-old and two other teenagers aged 13 and 15 are also being treated in hospital.

Police are still trying to find out what happened but say the driver had not been using alcohol or drugs.
