One of the three has been taken out by rescue helicopter, with an injury to a knee. The injured person is flown to hospital for a check-up.
The other two descend from the mountain on their own machine.
The three must have gone with the avalanche 300 meters down the mountainside. Despite this, it seems to have gone surprisingly well.
– A little above, a little below and a little in the avalanche. The two who are uninjured will now go down to the car, where they will be met by the police and health. They must be a bit shaken up after the experience, but it seems to have gone well, says operations manager Tor André Gram Franck at the Møre and Romsdal police district to Tidens Krav.
It must be a matter of well-accustomed hikers who were taken by the avalanche. It was they themselves who reported the accident. All three are from Trøndelag.
