A 37-year-old woman died after a tree fell onto her bicycle as Storm Pia swept across the country, her employers reported on Friday. The woman, a care worker, was on a so-called “sociable,” a bicycle with two seats side by side, when the accident occurred in Wilp 100 kilometres to the east of Amsterdam on Thursday. She was taken to hospital where she died. The other person on the bicycle, a resident of the care home where the deceased woman worked, was slightly injured in the accident.
