A six-wheeler with three people overturned on a slalom hill in Oslo – one seriously injured – Greater Oslo

The ATV overturned and rolled around on the slalom track, which is located in Sørkedalen in the capital. The race Oslo’s Bratteste took place there on Saturday. – When we arrived, we learned that it was a six-wheeler that had driven up into the hill station with three people on it. It rolled around a couple of times with these on, says the police’s task leader Magnus Strande. The driver was seriously injured and taken to Ullevål hospital. The passengers, who are both 13 years old, were slightly injured in the accident and have been sent to the emergency room for a check-up. The seriously injured person is a man in his 30s who was hired by the organizers to rig the ground system, according to the police. Organiser: – Never happened until news has spoken to the manager of the event who had hired the driver. – I’m just sad and scared, because I don’t know how things are going with him. Plain and simple. So I just have to wait and see, says Geir Jarle Bjørneng. He says they will look at their security procedures, but emphasizes that something like this has never happened before. – We have used ATVs for all years for rigging. Here we are talking about 15 years of this event and never before have we had such an accident, says Geir Jarle Bjørneng. CHECK: The vehicle will be thoroughly checked by the police.
