Norway's Østlandet region faced significant traffic disruptions on Friday evening due to icy roads.

The Meteorological Institute issued a yellow warning for ice, affecting parts of Østlandet, Innlandet, and northern Agder.

The sudden change to milder weather, combined with rain freezing on cold surfaces, created hazardous driving conditions.

Numerous accidents were reported, including a collision in Ringerike and multiple incidents in Darbu, where emergency services struggled to reach the scene due to the slippery roads.

In Drammen, a car hit a lamppost, and a bus in Lier slid backward, causing delays.

Authorities urge drivers to remain vigilant and adapt to the conditions as the icy weather persists.
