Just under a hundred lorries took part in the procession, which the family greatly appreciated. – Jonas would have loved it. This is completely in his spirit, says spokesperson for the family, Ivar Borgen. He says that the day has been demanding. – Entering the church was nice on the one hand. On the other side, it was very painful, says Borgen. Robin Hellingsrud, board member of Buskerud Truckers, was one of those behind the truck procession.

On TikTok, he had over 50,000 followers and many have told of a man who saw everyone around him. A man who was “full of energy, creativity and joy.” A large attendance is expected at the church this afternoon. – It will be nice to meet people for whom Jonas has meant something and who show their support for the family through the difficult time we have been through, says Borgen.

Over 100 registered and over 1,000 have said they are interested. – Jonas would have loved this. We think it’s a fantastic initiative, and it’s warming, stepfather Ivar Borgen, spokesman for the family, previously told news. Stefar Ivar Borgen is the family’s spokesperson. Photo: Jon P Petrusson / news Henriksen is said to have inspired many to start in the transport industry via social media. The organizers are sure that the procession is in his spirit. – We are very sure that this is something that he would think was completely rude. He was burning for exactly the same thing himself, and for the communities that will meet there. That is also the reason why we are doing this, says Robin Hellingsrud, one of three initiators from Buskerud Truckers. New photo shows car at the scene at 12.26pm: The police know where and when Jonas was killed No arrests Two weeks have passed since Henriksen was found dead in his car. A central theory has been whether he may have been tricked into the discovery site, either through a fake job assignment or in some other way. No one has been arrested in the case, and the police call it a complicated case where they are working with a number of hypotheses.
