Smooth in several places – news Innlandet – Local news, TV and radio

In a short time on Thursday morning, there have been several accidents along roads in Eastern Norway. Among these was an accident on the E6 in Stange and county road 33 in Toten. In addition, there have been traffic accidents in both Østfold and Vestfold on Thursday morning, including on the E18 in Tønsberg, Sandefjord and Halden. Operations manager in the Innlandet police district Ove Stian Ovrum says that both the emergency services and those involved in the accidents in the Innlandet have given feedback that it has been very smooth at the two accident sites. Two accidents in a short time On the E6 in Stange, a driver lost control of the car, which eventually spun around and ended up on the roof. – It has been reported that it is very slippery at the site, so we have notified the Road Traffic Center about salting there. The driver was not injured in the accident. In several of the accidents on Thursday morning, slippery roads have been reported.

There were also no serious injuries to anyone involved. – There was also a report that it was very slippery. – Drive according to the conditions – Several of us at work today confirm that it was slippery on the road today, but there are no other incidents in connection with that, says the operations manager. He encourages people who are going out into traffic to adapt their speed to the road and conditions. – Wear shoes and drive according to the conditions. At the same time, he points out that they have no information that the cars in the two accidents in Stange and Lena have not been shod according to the conditions. In the north of the country, the weather is challenging on Thursday.

She warns, however, that the fog over the interior can result in slippery roads. She gets support in this from state meteorologist Rebecca Roggentin. – It was below zero in many places last night, and there was local fog at Mjøsa and Kongsvinger. If this is freezing fog, i.e. that there are freezing temperatures on the ground, then the fog can freeze on the ground. Then it can be slippery, says the meteorologist. – The freezing fog is most common now in autumn and at the start of winter. Otherwise, the sub-zero temperatures alone can make it slippery along the roads. Published 14.11.2024, at 11.53
