In Målselv, Troms, a British military truck was involved in a collision with a passenger vehicle while both were attempting to cross a bridge. According to operations leader Per Arve Aas, the passenger car ventured onto the bridge first but realized the space was insufficient for both vehicles. The driver of the military truck attempted to proceed despite the tight situation, leading to the crash. Fortunately, both vehicles sustained only minor damage and remain operational.

The collision affected the left side, front, and side of the passenger car, but the police have reported that all occupants, four in total (two per vehicle), are safe. The parties involved are in the process of filling out an accident report following the incident. The regional operations leader noted that British forces are currently stationed in the area, indicating that such interactions between military and civilian vehicles may occur more frequently in this location.

This accident highlights the ongoing presence of British military personnel in Troms and underscores the need for caution when military and civilian vehicles share roadways, particularly in tighter spaces like bridges. Authorities will likely assess the situation to ensure safe passage in the future and prevent similar incidents from occurring.
