– The driver who was accused is just over 20 years old and the other passengers are between the ages of 17 and 20, attorney on duty Gard Busterud in the Oslo police district told VG.

– Not questioned
Oslo police have not yet questioned the four survivors of the car accident.
– It is difficult to say when we will be able to carry out the interviews with the four who are in the hospital. It will depend on their state of health, which is unclear at the moment, the attorney on duty Busterud tells VG.
It is not yet known where or how the crash car may have ended up in the wrong direction in the tunnel system.
On Monday, the investigation will be transferred to the Joint Intelligence and Investigation Unit (FEE) of the Oslo police.
The course of events will therefore likely be revised. Video has been obtained from a camera, VG is informed.
I took a blood test
Attorney on duty Gard Busterud confirmed Sunday morning that a blood test was carried out on the driver, but that the results are not yet available.
– The blood sample was not fully analyzed, he says.
The woman who lost her life was trapped in the car for about 20 minutes. The other four got out of the car on their own but were injured in the crash, Oslo police said Saturday.
The woman received life-saving first aid on the spot, but died as a result of the accident.
– The person in the truck was questioned, police lawyer Rikke Lund Lefdal told VG on Saturday.
Under investigation
The car suffered extensive material damage.
The Accident Analysis Group (UAG) at the National Road Administration was at the scene of the accident Saturday and carried out measurements and protected documentation, says Jan Holst, Department of Road Safety.
He is nationally responsible for the National Road Administration’s Accident Analysis Groups (UAGs).
The National Accident Investigation Board was also notified of the incident.
