Thus, we do not know much about what led to the semi-trailer ending up in the river. This is what police operations manager Ingrid Teigland Tepstad says to news at 19.40. The police are working to find out what caused the semi-trailer to end up in the river. Photo: Jan Christian Jerving &#8211; Deliberately and speaking &#8211; What we know is that there is a sign that is broken in the roundabout and that has been crossed. The semi-trailer then ended up in the river, says operations manager Tepstad. &#8211; How is his condition? &#8211; The man is conscious and talkative. Now the health service must consider whether he should be transported by air ambulance, or an ordinary ambulance, says Tepstad.

Then we hope to be able to speak to the driver as soon as possible, and get clarity on what has happened. Passers-by helped the fire brigade The emergency services received a report that a truck train had driven into the river near the Borlaugkrysset in L\u00e6rdal on the E16 at 19.46. The police, fire brigade, air ambulance and ambulance rushed to the scene. &#8211; With the help of passers-by, we got the driver out of the car. It was a bit of work to get him out, says supervisor at 110 West, Tore Fanebust. The fire service is now investigating the situation surrounding the trailer. &#8211; Among other things, a diesel tank has been punctured. Diesel has therefore leaked in the area, says duty manager Fanebust. The incident occurred on the E16 near the Borlaugkrysset in L\u00e6rdal. At 19.16 the police were able to report that the man was out of the trailer&#8217;s cab and was awake. There were no other people involved in the incident. The road may be closed Traffic can for the time being pass, but with reduced accessibility, the Norwegian Public Roads Administration informs. The Swedish Road Administration specifies that there is a risk that the road will be closed.
