– When we arrived, other people had got the man out of the water, so he is now being cared for by the healthcare system. We have dived around the car, there are no more people in the water, and now we are preparing to take the car out of the water, says task leader Svein Arild Jørundland to news. The driver was rescued on land and is expected to be safe. The person has been taken to the emergency department for a check-up. – Apparently it’s going well. He has been in the water and it is cold, so he is taken care of by paramedics, and then questioned by the police about why the car ended up in the water, says Jørundland. According to the police, the car is 15 meters deep. The police moved out together with the other emergency services when they received a report in the morning that a car had gone over the edge of the quay.

During the drive from the boat to the car park, this car somehow drove over the edge of the quay and ended up in the water. Was alone in the car – The man himself claimed that he was alone in the car and we have dived with divers around the car and the surrounding area. There are no more people there.

Then there is the questioning of the driver. Then there is the routine notification of the Norwegian Labor Inspectorate. The man will be employed at the port and is involved in unloading new cars to the quay before they go on to the dealers. – We must find out what happened and prevent this from happening again. We also investigate whether something criminal has happened, and take a breathalyzer test, says the task leader.
