It was on the morning of December 28 that two buses collided head-on at Fredrikstadbrua in Fredrikstad municipality.

– The family wants to say that he was the world’s best husband and father, says welfare lawyer Hilde Elisabeth Jæger.
– They describe that they are still in shock, and that they are having a terrible time. Now they are looked after by the municipality’s psychosocial crisis team and its private network, says welfare lawyer Hilde Elisabeth Jæger to VG.
The relatives have previously expressed gratitude for the support after the incident, both from the public support apparatus and their private network.
