“One or two people have probably been in the sea. Everyone is cold / freezing “, it says in a Twitter message about the incident from the police.
It was at 04:00 on Monday night that the message was called in to 113. A boat with four people on board had run aground on Vikaholmen in Alver.
– It has run well on the islet. It will remain there until further notice, says operations manager Frode Kolltveit in the West police district.
Called AMK myself
According to him, it quickly became clear that there had been four people in the boat. “Everyone is awake and talking”, it was stated after the police had arrived.
– It was established early on that all four had been accounted for. They called AMK themselves, and then the police were involved in the emergency call.
Kolltveit states that all four were up and running, but complained of pain in the body in various places. They must have come ashore over a footbridge that connects the islet with the mainland.
According to the log, everyone, two women and two men, were sent to the trauma clinic at Haukeland.
– They are going for an ever so small check, certainly because of the bang and considering what it may have caused. I have only received information about pain.
Blown over legal limit
Kolltveit can not say anything more about the relationship between the four on Monday morning. The boat came from Modalen, according to the police on Twitter.
The two men were in their 30s and 60s, while the women were in their 40s and 60s.
Kolltveit says it is too early to say anything about the cause.
In the latest update on Twitter about the accident, it is stated: «Boat driver, man in his 30s, blown in breathalyzer with result above legal alcohol limit at sea (read: p. Limit 0.8). Will be prepared for blood test. “
– He is suspected of drink-driving, says the operations manager.
All the emergency services went out on the accident, the police with several patrols. Ambulance helicopters and several ambulances were also dispatched. The fire brigade had a boat with them on call.
