– At 08.45 I received a report that a large rock had rolled down the road on national highway 15, says task leader Therese Hoff Bylterud in the Innlandet police district. The stone has rolled down near the intersection of Ottadalsvegen/Fjellvegen. This is at the junction between national road 15 and county road 51, and thus blocks the road that runs between east and west. It was a person who had come to the town who reported the crash to the police. – The police are on site now, and have considered closing the road until the contractor arrives and can make an assessment, says Bylterud The road between east and west is closed.

Heavy transport must wait. – Liavegen is not suitable for heavy transport, says Bylterud. – Is there a risk of more landslides? – We are waiting for the contractor and possibly others who can make assessments, says Bylterud. The stone is heavy. Photo: Even Lusæter / news No injuries No one has been hit by the rock. – There is damage to the guardrail, down towards the lake, says Bylterud. The person who reported the crash to the police was there shortly after it had happened. – When the authorities arrived there was still dust in the air, says Bylterud. The road is closed after the landslide. Photo: Even Lusæter / news
