What appeared to be serious is the impression we have as of now, says Vang. Bus passengers uninjured The driver is injured after the accident. The woman was taken out of the car and taken to hospital in an ambulance. There were over 60 people on the bus, but everyone in the bus appears unharmed according to the police. The E39 is closed after the accident, reports Vegtrafikksentralen. There is a long queue in both directions. Both vehicles need recovery, and a detour was considered. A tow truck has been ordered, and the police worked to guide him past the queue and to the scene of the accident.

There is talk of a “head-on” accident, and that one of the vehicles has crossed the middle, without us knowing who.
