Two seriously injured after police chase

The people have been taken to hospital, one of them by ambulance helicopter.

It was during a vehicle check in the municipality of Mark that the vehicle drove away and the police began a chase.

There was very heavy fog at the scene and extensive black ice on the road. The car managed to drive away from the police car at first and disappeared from view, says Morten Gunneng, duty officer at the police.

Shortly afterwards, the car was found after it had driven off the road and overturned.

The man was the driver, and he is so far suspected of drunk driving and reckless driving. There may be more suspicions depending on what emerges here, says Morten Gunneng.
