Motorhome runs off road and overturns

A motorhome ran off the road and overturned on its side on Storfjordvegen, near the intersection with Bygdevegen. According to operations leader Espen Andrésen, there are traffic difficulties at the scene, as heavy transport cannot pass the motorhome blocking part of the road. Smaller vehicles can pass. A tow truck is on the way, and a police patrol is directing traffic in the meantime. No injuries are apparent, and there is no suspicion of intoxication, Andrésen said.
