rescue initiates catastrophen alarm

The Nordland Hospital has triggered the disaster alarm due to the severity of the accident. Rescue workers - including helicopters from Tromsö and Bodö - are on site to recover the passengers. Some survivors were evacuated to a nearby school because the bus is partly under water. The exact scope of damage cannot yet be assessed, but the rescue work is still in progress, says örjan Delbekk from HRS Nordnorwegen.

Another serious accident was in Wetter on the Ruhr just a few days earlier, where a 22-year-old motorcyclist crashed into a regular bus. According to Wa.de , the biker lost control of his motorcycle for unclear reasons. Thanks to the lightning -fast reaction of the bus driver, which put a full braking, worse things could be prevented. After a first aid, the motorcyclist was flown directly to the hospital in Bochum with a rescue helicopter, while two bus occupants also suffered injuries through the abrupt braking maneuvers. The bus driver himself suffered a shock. Investigations into the cause of the accident.
