In a press release from the West police district, the police write about a traffic accident between a police car and a private car.
The accident is said to have occurred in connection with a jerk after a report of a boat that had run aground.
– There will be major material damage to both cars, and the extent of damage to those involved is currently unknown – but both those involved are awake and aware, writes operations manager in the West police district, Ole Ronny Olsen, in the press release.
The accident must have happened in Godsøysundvegen on the way to Våge on Tysnes.
