"Seven people have been examined by the medical services. One person has been flown to Ullevål Hospital with suspected serious injuries," writes police officer on duty Per Solberg in an incident report.

Two of the injured wedding guests received treatment at the scene and four were taken to hospital by road ambulance.

The alarm about the incident came at 2:21 p.m. on Saturday.

It is unknown how many people were present at the wedding, but it is estimated that around 20 people were on the bridge when it collapsed, Solberg told VG.

The officiant, Grue municipal chairman Rune Grenberg, tells Dagbladet that it was the bride and groom's extended family who were affected when the ramp collapsed. They were standing at the back when the party was to be photographed.
