A bus accident took place at 10:22 AM on the Riksvei 7 Hallingdalsveien road in Gulsvik, Flå, prompting a response from local police. The operational leader, Ståle Olstad Fuglaas, reported that although no injuries have been reported, there was an immediate need for evacuation assistance for up to 13 passengers. Given the circumstances, the evacuation process required rescuers to assist passengers exiting the bus through the windows.

The incident has highlighted the need for efficient emergency response in such situations, as the safety of passengers could have been severely compromised. Fortunately, the police also confirmed that traffic flow remains unaffected around the accident scene, which allows for continued passage while emergency operations are ongoing. This aspect indicates effective management of the scene by the authorities, ensuring both safety for passengers and minimal disruption for the public.

While the situation appears to have been managed without any personal injuries, this incident serves as a reminder of the risks associated with road travel, especially on potentially hazardous routes such as Riksvei 7. Local authorities may need to evaluate the road conditions and implement preventive measures to enhance safety for travelers in the future.
