– Drive carefully. These are the words from the East police district on Saturday morning. At 10.00 they received seven reports of traffic accidents or accidents on Romerike in less than an hour. An hour later, the number has increased to ten. – There are both single descents and accidents where cars have crashed into each other, operations manager Finn Håvard Brække Aas tells news. None of the incidents should be serious. – Several have driven off the road Alternating themed returns have led to soapy roads in several places in Eastern Norway. And most seem to encounter problems in Østfold and Follo. – It has been a bit of a challenging morning. Several have already driven off the roads, says Gunnar Dovland, traffic operator at VTS. Vegtrafikksentralen has received reports of challenging conditions on both large and small roads. – Adapting the speed becomes important today. You can’t expect to drive at the speed limit on a day like today, says Dovland. And it might be a good idea to postpone today’s drive. – The conditions will probably improve during the day, says the traffic operator. Asking motorists to adjust their speed In Agder, streetcars are working at full speed. – But it quickly freezes up again, informs the Traffic Center. A little earlier, a car had driven off the road and ended up in a stream in Flekkefjord. No one was injured, but Vang stated that there was freezing rain on the road and therefore very slippery on the spot. In Færder, a car drove off the road on Øraveien early Saturday morning. According to the police, it was also very slippery here, and the driver was taken by the ambulance for medical follow-up. The police ask motorists to adjust their speed. – It can be difficult to see that it is smooth. Published 14.12.2024, at 11.33 Updated 14.12.2024, at 12.23
