A head-on collision involving at least two cars on Wednesday closed an important highway connecting Northern- and Southern Norway. There was a massive emergency response to the fatal accident that left one person dead and three others seriously injured. The crash occurred on the main north-south E6 highway close to the Dovregubbens hall restaurant and hotel complex. All available emergency response crews and air ambulances in the area were sent to the site, along with fire trucks, police and state highway crews. A 40-kilometer stretch of the scenic two-lane highway was expected to remain closed for around six hours in both directions, blocked on both the Dombås and Oppdal sides of it.
