“A serious accident”
Eight units of the rescue service, two ambulances and policemen were called to the scene. They were also called Värmland and Norwegian rescue helicopters.
Three people were involved in the accident. The damage situation is unclear, but people received on-site care initially.
– We have reached the people, we arrived and we began to care. The ambulance sets priorities and cares for the injured and rescue work continues for a while longer, Anders Lasses said in the rescue service.
Investigate further
The police have cordoned off an area and an investigation has been launched with the headline causing bodily injury. There are currently no suspects available.
