He has sent news several video clips of what he refers to as a hazardous and dangerous journey on the E18. – The lorry was several times close to hitting other cars that tried to pass in the left lane. As the video shows, it also came close to hitting a tunnel wall. – Didn’t have free patrols The man who tipped off news about the wild journey also quickly got in touch with the police. – I called the operations centre, which initially said that they had no available patrols. I called them back and after about 40 minutes they came out. Just after eight o’clock the lorry driver was stopped in Holmestrand. The news tipster had then been behind the lorry for around one hour. – It was good to see that he was finally stopped. I was told by the patrol to follow them and we stopped and had a chat. I also showed them the videos I had taken, says the man. On the flight to his home country, news has been in contact with the development director of the company where the lorry driver was employed until recently. – This is a tragic personnel matter. We can only boast that there was no accident and that no one was injured, he says.
