When a car ran off the road on the E18 in Kragerø in April 2021, Hans Olav Holtane Tisjø was one of the first to help. However, the 34-year-old accident driver did not want help. He wanted to run away and stole another car that had stopped. An elderly man was sitting in the passenger seat, with his legs outside the car and the car door open. Was dragged after the car Tisjø says that he threw himself into the car on the driver’s side, to try to stop the car thief. He clung to his lap as the car accelerated. This left him hanging out of the car for 50-60 metres, before he let go of the roof. The car journey ended shortly afterwards, when the car thief stopped to drop off the passenger, who came away unharmed from the incident. Tisjø was not as lucky, he ended up with broken ribs, crushing injuries to his lungs, a broken shoulder, bruises and abrasions. Some of the injuries will affect him for the rest of his life. Hans Olav is still struggling with pain. A broken shoulder has meant that he no longer plays the flute. He is also unable to carry out competitions on the shooting range.

The sentence is set at three and a half years, and he must pay NOK 200,000 in compensation to Tisjø. – The most important thing for me is that this does not happen again. I hope he now gets the help he needs, he says of the car thief. Doubts about psychosis A central topic during the trial was whether the 34-year-old is criminally sane. After his arrest, he was forcibly admitted to the psychosis ward at Telemark Hospital. Shortly afterwards he was discharged, because the superiors considered that the man was not psychotic. The court’s expert thought it was difficult to make a definite diagnosis. They believed that the man has a will-controlled behavior problem with a personality disorder in addition to a drug-induced psychosis. Telemark District Court: The 34-year-old has recently been sentenced in Telemark District Court for a wide range of offences, the most serious of which was the robbery of a car on the E18. Photo: Nils Fridtjof Skumsvoll / news The sentence has been appealed The man has also been found guilty of a number of incidents of violence, threats and damage to prison officers. – With regard to the verdict, I am satisfied that the district court has shared the prosecution’s view both on the question of culpability and level of punishment, says Acting State Attorney Iselinn Beck Håvarstein. The 34-year-old was informed of the sentence in prison on Wednesday afternoon. – He appealed on the spot, and I support him in that. He is appealing both the question of guilt and the sentencing, says the 34-year-old’s defender, lawyer Cathrine Bang. – Easier on film Tisjø is currently struggling with pain and reduced mobility. This has led to the transverse flute being put on the shelf. The shoulder puts an end to the whistle, and he can no longer actively engage in shooting either. Although the injuries have led to upheavals in his life, he is neither bitter nor angry with the car thief. – No, I’m not. It doesn’t help anyone. But we will probably never become friends, says Tisjø to news. – Will you stop the next time you have an accident? – I will probably do what I can, because it is in my nature, but now I know what I cannot do. Jumping into a car like that… Things look a lot easier on film, says Tisjø and laughs, before he becomes serious again. – But what else can you do? You just have to try to do what you can to help your fellow man.
