Late at night, police reported a traffic accident on the Atlantic Road where a car had driven off the road. Fortunately, all individuals were able to exit the vehicle safely. However, emergency services were called to investigate damage to a transformer station that may have been impacted by the incident, leading to concerns about potential electrical hazards. Power has been disconnected as a precaution, and officials noted the presence of oil leaking from the transformer station, which prompted the establishment of a safety perimeter around the area.

Authorities indicated that while the chances of an explosion were low, the security zone of 50 meters was set up to ensure the safety of both emergency personnel and bystanders in the area. NEAS, the electricity service provider, was dispatched to address the situation and mitigate any hazards related to the electrical equipment damaged during the accident. Traffic was being rerouted away from the scene to avoid congestion and ensure the safety of the responders.

Reports from the police stress that the individuals in the car reported the accident themselves, and while there were no serious injuries reported, the exact extent of injuries sustained by the occupants remains unclear. Local news sources have been monitoring the incident closely, highlighting the rapid response of emergency services and the ongoing investigation into the circumstances surrounding the accident at this popular tourist route in Norway.
