The alarm about the accident came at 9pm on Friday evening. According to information at the scene of the accident, the police had searched for the vehicle or pursued it.
But according to the police themselves, it is not about a pursuit.
– The driver sees a police car and quickly drives away. The police decide to drive after and when the patrol catches up with the car, it is in the ditch, says Anders Holm, RLC commander at police region mitt.
The car left the road and crashed among the trees in the ditch. According to the police, it is a serious accident.
The police allegedly tried to get into the car themselves, but only after the emergency services arrived could the driver of the accident car be picked out and taken from the scene.
