A traffic accident occurred on County Road 21, Haldenveien, near Otteid in the Marker municipality of Norway, resulting in three individuals being taken to the hospital. One person was airlifted to Ullevål hospital, while two others were transported to Østfold hospital at Kalnes. According to the police, the injuries sustained by the airlifted individual are not life-threatening, and one of the four individuals involved in the accident is reported to be unhurt.

The incident prompted an automatic notification to the police from a vehicle near the scene of the accident. This quick response was crucial as the location posed challenges for standard ambulance services, prompting the dispatch of a helicopter ambulance to assist in the situation. Emergency responders reported some traffic congestion and delays in the area following the accident.

This event highlights the importance of rapid emergency response in remote areas where access can be obstructed. The presence of automatic vehicle notifications may also enhance safety measures on busy roads and assist in timely medical interventions during accidents, potentially reducing the severity of injuries in future incidents.
