“A private person saw the car roll over the edge of the quay, and then called in and raised the alarm,” says Roger Sverndal, line operator at the rescue service.
During the evening, one person was picked up from the water and taken to hospital by helicopter.
— The car has sunk and is on the bottom. We are there and diving now to ensure that no more people are involved, says Roger Sverndal.
— I cannot comment on the state of the damage, other than that the person has been handed over to the healthcare system.
The alarm came in to the emergency services at 20.34. The police do not suspect any crime in connection with the incident.
