Mapper

Three cars needed salvage. The road was closed for a while until salvage was carried out.

– There has been a traffic accident with four cars where there was one person in each car. We are trying to map out what has happened, but there has been a collision in the same direction and opposite, says Benny Olsen, operations manager on site from the police.

At 13.02, the police report that one lane has been opened in a westerly direction.

At 13.30, they report that a car has run into the rear of a car in front, which led to a car crossing into the oncoming lane and hitting a car head-on. A driver’s license for a man in his 30s from Bekkestua has been seized. Four people were taken to hospital with minor injuries.

At 13.37 they report that they have finished on site and the road is open.

Cleared the road

The police task leader says that three of the people appear unharmed, while the fourth person has little to moderate injuries. All have been taken to the emergency room and staffed by health personnel.

– For the time being, the road is closed in both directions, but we are trying to get a lane open fairly quickly, Olsen says at 12.40.

The police have conducted some interrogations on the spot of both those involved and other witnesses.

There were long queues for a while and a slow-moving queue after one field was opened, waiting for tow trucks.
