The summary is made by an AI service from OpenAI. The content is quality assured by news&#8217;s \u200b\u200bjournalists before publication. The public prosecutor&#8217;s office holds the 29-year-old driver responsible for the death of 15-year-old Antoni Tomaszewski from Stavern in the descent. The 29-year-old faced charges in Oslo District Court on Wednesday for &#8220;negligently causing the death of another&#8221;. There he pleaded guilty, reports VG. Refused to stop The driver brought the three teenagers on a trip to Sweden. They had also visited a car accident when the police tried to stop the car in Sarpsborg. Instead of stopping, the driver must have stepped on the gas. A police patrol on wheels lost sight of the car. When the car approached Oslo, another police car is said to have left behind and the pursuit is said to have taken place at high speeds. The police have stated that this patrol was also driven away. Ten minutes later, the car was found on its roof in the ditch. Struggling with injuries himself, the 15-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene, while the other three were taken to hospital. The man who has now been charged is still affected by the injuries he sustained in the descent. The 29-year-old&#8217;s defender, lawyer Audun Helgheim, says that the defendant has suffered a brain injury and that he is struggling with his vision, balance and memory loss.

It is luck that he actually survived, says Helgheim to news He is critical of the police following the car, even though the driver did not stop. Exonerating the police The Bureau of Police Affairs has investigated whether the police did anything wrong before the fatal skid. The bureau&#8217;s head, Terje Nyb\u00f8e, says he has finished the investigation, but will not give news access to the decision. &#8211; It will be announced on our website on Thursday 31 October, writes Nyb\u00f8e in an email. However, the 29-year-old&#8217;s defender says that he is aware that the case against the police has been dropped by the Bureau of Police Affairs. Helgheim says that the conclusion is that the police have not done anything punishable. He believes the police must take a closer look at their routines anyway. Looking for alternatives to car chases The lawyer believes that a serious accident was a likely outcome when the police set off on wheels with blue lights and sirens at a speed that increased and increased. The 29-year-old is accused of driving 165 kilometers per hour in the 110 zone, but no one knows what the speed was when the car left the road. &#8211; Even if the case against the police has been dropped, there should be a discussion about the police&#8217;s methods in high-speed cases. And what other alternatives can be used in situations like this, says Helgheim. A few weeks after the accident, news met the deceased&#8217;s mother. She described her son as a happy boy who loved everything to do with engines. &#8211; Infinite sorrow &#8211; All young people should be careful, regardless of whether it is a motorcycle, a car, or an ordinary bicycle. And that they really also think about others, not just themselves, the mother told news last autumn. A few weeks after the fatal accident, the mother of the 15-year-old boy, Marta Tomaszewska, said that the family wanted openness about her son&#8217;s death.

Counsel for Antoni&#8217;s parents, Victoria Westrum, says that those left behind are in endless grief after losing a child. &#8211; Conducting a trial will obviously be a burden for them, Westrum writes in an e-mail. The 29-year-old&#8217;s defense attorney will not advance how the defendant stands on the question of guilt, but states that the client has asked to say a few words at the beginning of the trial. Three days have been set aside for the trial in Oslo District Court. \u200b Published 30.10.2024, at 07.04 Updated 30.10.2024, at 10.12<br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nrk.no\/vestfoldogtelemark\/29-aring-stilles-for-retten-etter-dodsulykke-pa-e18-1.17098170\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ttn-69 <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The case in summary A 29-year-old has been charged with negligent homicide after a 15-year-old died in an exit on the E18 in Oslo last year.
