In Brønnøy, slippery conditions led to a plow truck ending up about 15 meters off the road in Velfjord on Saturday morning. – The plow is a good distance from the road in the forest. The fire service has been on the scene and says that the vehicle is a total wreck, says traffic operator Fredrik Nyland to news. – There has been some momentum here, he points out. Fortunately, everything went well with the plow driver. – The tow truck has been recovered and the driver was sent to the emergency room for a check-up. Photo: JAN O. NIELSEN The police are opening a case on the matter and the driver will be questioned. There is no suspicion of alcohol or intoxication, says operations manager Yngvar Fredriksen to news. Nyland says that plowing in the area is going on as normal even with one machine in short supply. – The municipality has spare machines and is well equipped for incidents like this. It is not just in the south of Helgeland that the weather creates trouble. According to Lofotposten, there were three downhill runs in ten minutes in Lofoten earlier Saturday. In Lofoten, two roads are also closed due to the risk of avalanches. One of them will be closed overnight. – Of the two roads that are still closed, it looks like county road 7594 will be closed until tomorrow, while county road 7600 in Flakstad will probably open during the day, says Nyland. – Yesterday we had a lot of snowy weather, but it has calmed down today, he adds.
