Tram Driver Faints, Crashes in Oslo

Published: 2024-11-15

In a dramatic incident on October 29, a tram derailed and crashed into the Eplehuset store in Storgata, Oslo.

The tram driver, who has been recently interviewed by the police, explained that he felt unwell and lost consciousness, leading to the accident.

Fortunately, no one was seriously injured, though four people, including the driver, sustained minor injuries.

The driver is under investigation for violating traffic laws but has not admitted guilt, as he does not recall the event.

The police are collaborating with Sporveien and awaiting technical examination results to determine the cause, which could range from technical failure to health issues.

The investigation remains ongoing, with further witness interviews possible.
