Shortly after the incident, VG’s reporter observed two adults lying injured on the ground. Both were conscious.
Police are still working to obtain witness information on the spot.
–Around 6.20 pm on Sunday, a car crashed into a grandstand during a motor show event in the parking lot outside Bjerke trotting track in Oslo. The car originally backed up at high speed, but braked before hitting the grandstand.
It is a car that participated in the event, and not a monster truck, which drove into the stands.
The show has been going on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
– Chaotic
Broberg describes the crowd at the place as massive.
– It was chaotic initially, but we are starting to form a good picture of the course of events. We have gathered good witness information on the spot, says the task leader.
–Broberg says that they have control over all the parties involved, but will not comment on whether the car driver is injured.
Operations Manager Sven Christian Lie tells VG that it is too early to say anything about the cause of the crash. The police are working to map and investigate what has happened. They have cordoned off the area.
–In photos from the place, you could see several ambulances and health personnel assisting people. Several children and young people were present during the event.
The motor show is a traveling show with, among other things, monster trucks, cars and various shows. The show has, among other things, been arranged in Sandefjord and Tønsberg earlier this month.
