On Wednesday morning, several people got a bit of a shock when they drove past the Espe bridge outside Nordfjordeid. – We have discussed how the car could have ended up there, says Lars Erik Humborstad, who passed the town on Wednesday morning. The car was found abandoned the night before and no one had reported the accident. – It is special, says incident leader at the police in Nordfjord, Roger Gundersen. The police suspect that high speed and slippery roads are the cause of the accident. The car salesman was a passenger There should have been three people in the car, but the police have only made contact with the car salesman who was a passenger. – He complained of chest pains and had a lump on his forehead. After we had spoken to him, he was sent to the emergency room, Gundersen said. The car salesman was tested for drugs and was not under the influence. The police still do not know who the couple who drove the car are, but say that there is a special story behind the accident. Sale of snowmobiles with car still in the river The police say that it all started when a man in Nordfjord was going to sell his snowmobile to a man from Austlandet. The buyer did not have the opportunity to pick up the snowmobile himself and send a friend who brought his girlfriend. When the purchase of the snowmobile was complete, the couple who picked it up also wanted to buy the car for the person concerned. But they wanted to test drive it first and on this trip even the car in the river. The police suspect high speed and slippery roads as the cause of the accident.

Got new information To find out who the other two involved are, the police have seen the purchase contract for the snowmobile and called the buyer. – He refused to give us information on who had been here, says the task leader. On Wednesday evening, the police still have not found out who drove the car that ended up in the river, but think they will clear up the matter. – We have received new information which means that we are confident that we will get in touch with the couple in the next 24 hours, says Roger Gundersen in the police. Ulukka happened at the Espe bridge just outside Nordfjordeid in Vestland.
