A court fined a 59-year-old tram driver €750 after he ran a red light on Buitenveldertselaan in Amsterdam-Zuid and struck a 14-year-old cyclist on 25 March. The girl, who had a green light, was seriously injured and underwent two operations. Camera footage and traffic-control data showed that the tram signal had been red for nine minutes; the driver acknowledged this after seeing the footage.

The prosecution had sought 100 hours of community service. The court held the driver responsible but treated the case as a traffic offence rather than a criminal offence, finding that he had made one error because he believed he was permitted to continue. He has stopped working as a tram driver.
