Dramatic Rescue Effort in Norwegian River

Published: 2024-08-12

A large-scale rescue operation is underway in Bondhuselva, Kvinnherad, Norway, after a child reportedly fell into the river.

The incident was reported to the police at 11:36 AM, prompting an immediate response from emergency services, including police, fire brigade, ambulances, and a rescue helicopter from Sola.

The rescue efforts are described as complex and challenging due to the river's high water flow, which poses significant risks to both the rescue teams and the child.

Overwater rescuers and divers are actively working at the scene, coordinated by the police.

The situation remains critical as authorities strive to ensure the safety of all involved.
