A serious traffic accident occurred on the E18 highway in Norway, involving five vehicles and fifteen individuals. Emergency services responded promptly to the scene. According to police reports, one person was taken to the emergency department, while three others were being treated for minor injuries by ambulance personnel on-site. The collisions stemmed from a rear-end impact, which also resulted in a secondary accident as one vehicle hit another after the initial crash.

Law enforcement has indicated that not all vehicles remained at the scene, as one was reported to have left without exchanging information. The police have urged the driver of the fleeing vehicle to come forward. The main accident disrupted traffic flow significantly, with the northbound lane currently closed and detours being set up via Bispeveien from the Åskrysset interchange to help redirect vehicles.

Tow services have been notified and are en route to assist with clearing the roadway. The incident highlights the ongoing concerns regarding traffic safety on major highways, especially in busy travel locations, reinforcing the need for driver vigilance to prevent such accidents in the future.
