According to the police, the Danish worker is ignored by an accident and is considered dead.

According to the NTB news agency, two houses should have been evacuated. At least one car was in the water. The man in the car managed to get rid of him and was taken to the hospital.

Were the authorities responsible for the accident?

The reasons for the landslide are still being investigated. Nevertheless, work is currently underway to stabilize the land in this area is currently being carried out. It is not yet clear whether this could contribute to landslide, as the NKK broadcasting body said, referring to a competent state -owned company.

Nevertheless, the residents told the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet that the landslide was “only a matter of time.” “We were waiting for this,” they said. The woman and her husband say that for many years they warned of an accident.

The authorities also admitted to Dagbladet that they knew about the situation about the stability of the soil. Nevertheless, Anita Sand, the mayor of Levanger, explained that the conditions were well appreciated: “It is well known that there are unstable territories throughout the thromladeg.” That is why E6 “passes into the tunnel through the hills,” he said.

The municipal adviser Lars Airik also talked with Dagebladet about the problems that arose as a result of the accident. The details that should now be made to drivers are dangerous. Cars should now go through Sweden or take a boat.

According to the authorities, E6 will remain closed for several days for several days.
