Neighbor Eilert Øverland witnessed the incident. Says the driver ran after the car when it started rolling.
– I called the ambulance immediately, says Øverland.
Another neighbor, Kjell Joar Rognstad, was meeting in Teams when he heard noise from outside.
It thundered, then the snow fell around the window and then I thought it’s probably not takras now.
Rognstad went out and discovered the truck that had taken away the neighbor’s shed. He says that it is good that there are no more injuries along the path that many travel.
– Here people come and go, and children plow, he says.
WITNESS: Eilert Øverland lives in the neighborhood where the truck left. He saw the driver running after the truck as it began to roll.

Work with road safety
The driver is an employee of the Arvid Gjerde AS company, which is based in Rauma on Møre og Romsdal. The company operates with road safety.
The general manager there, Marcus Brevik, has been in contact with the injured.
– I spoke to him on the phone. He has pain in one foot that is probably broken, says Brevik.
He says that it is a sad situation and that the most important thing now is to find out what happened.
Says a tow truck is on the way. He is also Operations Manager for Arvid Gjerde AS.
Unknown extent of damage
The driver was sent to hospital shortly after the accident. The person was then awake and conscious, but with an unknown extent of damage.
The accident occurred at Måsåhaugen in Lillehammer. It is a densely populated residential area east of the city center, in the direction of Sjusjøen.
The truck crashed into the shed of a house.
– The owner has been notified of what happened, says Antonsen.
Now the police will investigate the case, which is considered a work accident.
