There is extensive damage to the car. The accident team and crime scene technicians have been called in to try to find out how fast the car was going, and what may have caused the accident.
– The person concerned is described as seriously injured, says operations manager Jan Kristian Johnsrud VG.
– Before we arrived, the driver was out of the car and was taken care of by the ambulance personnel. We secured the scene of the accident. It’s not smooth on E18 where I’m standing now, says fire chief Rune Loraas, Vestfold Interkommunale Brannvesen writes on X.
