Dutch military police are probing the death of a 23-year-old Dutch woman following an all-terrain vehicle rollover in Aruba. Kimberly Van Ardenne, from Rotterdam, was reportedly in the vehicle when it overturned on September 13. Initially, local police claimed she was driving, but her family stated they had received conflicting reports.
The family has appealed for witnesses on Facebook, urging anyone with information to come forward. Two male naval officers, including a friend, were present in the vehicle at the time of the crash. Two tour guides reportedly witnessed the incident, suggesting the vehicle had made a maneuver before overturning. Kimberly's family claims she was a cautious driver, not a thrill-seeker, and they are exploring potential liability and reckless driving claims.
Her lawyer, Peter Schouten, said the family has gathered information from social media but is still seeking additional witnesses. The family has urged anyone with information to contact them via Facebook or Whatsapp.
