– The road will be closed until the morning when a geologist arrives at the site, says Svein Inge Harberg,leader of the site.
Naudetatane received notification of the slide right after the clock 21: 00 Wednesday evening.
The landslide crossed the road on the east side of the tunnel, about 200 metres from the tunnel opening. Several cars were in the area when large amounts of heavy snow fell down the mountainside and over the busy road. The Avalanche must be up to 2 meters high.
– We know that there have been cars heading towards the landslide from both directions, says Tom Johannessen, operations manager at the West Police District.
RV 5 is one of the main thoroughfares between Nordfjord, Sunnfjord and Sogn.
A car drove into the landslide and the driver of the car got out of the car himself.
– He had to ride with a snowplow away from the place and the car remains at the landslide, says Jorgen Bottker, traffic operator at The Road Traffic Center.
