Amsterdamse spoorwegongeval - Arrest

Amsterdamse spoorwegongeval (Hof Amsterdam, 29-09-1978, NJ 1979, 584)

Casus

Verdachte (machinist) ziet een stopsein over het hoofd waardoor een frontale botsing met een andere trein ontstaat. Hierbij liepen verschillende personen verwondingen op. Er wordt hem verweten gevaar te hebben veroorzaakt voor het treinverkeer.

Rechtsvraag

Heeft de verdachte schuld aan het gevaar?

Hof

Het hof oordeelt dat het feit in principe bewezen verklaard is en de dader strafbaar is. Er waren in casu echter bijzondere omstandigheden, die ervoor zorgden dat hij zich niet bewust was van zijn verminderde waarnemingsvermogen. Verdachte was zich echter wel degelijk bewust van zijn verantwoordelijkheden en nam de zorgvuldigheid die daarmee gepaard gaat ook in acht. Er is sprake van onbewuste schuld: niet willen en weten, maar wel behoren te weten. Door deze verzachtende omstandigheden, werd hem een mildere straf opgelegd.
