A traffic accident occurred on the E 10 road near Gimsøystraumbrua in Norway involving a rental car occupied by Asian tourists and two other vehicles. Emergency services responded to the incident just after 1 PM, noting that three vehicles and a total of eight individuals were involved. Two people were taken to the hospital for observations following the crash, as reported by Nordland police district's operations leader Tommy Bech.

According to police investigations, it appears that one vehicle collided with another, causing a chain reaction that led to a third car being struck. All individuals involved in the accident were identified as foreign nationals who were using rental cars. Given the involvement of the Asian driver, the police have initiated a criminal case and are looking into the feasibility of deporting the driver, as it is seen as a serious issue under current law enforcement policies.

The incident underscores the complexities surrounding road safety involving tourists in Norway, as well as the legal implications tied to foreign nationals operating rental vehicles. As Norwegian authorities continue to enforce strict traffic regulations, this accident raises questions about driver responsibility and the treatment of foreign individuals in similar situations in the future.
