A collision occurred in the Gruatunnel on national highway 4 in Lunner, Akershus, on Saturday evening. According to Per Solberg, the operations leader at Innlandet Police District, the individual who was airlifted to the hospital after the collision is not suffering from life-threatening injuries. The incident involved two vehicles that collided head-on when one of the cars moved into the oncoming traffic lane.

In addition to the person who was airlifted, another individual was transported to Gjøvik Hospital via ambulance.
