A Bergen resident woke to an unexpected vehicle in his garden Friday morning. Andreas Lyshaugen was sleeping in his home near Jordalsvatnet lake when a loud crash startled him awake around 4 AM.
He looked out his bedroom window to find a car parked between his own vehicle and the garden wall. The driver had lost control on slippery roads that affected many areas across Norway.
Lyshaugen described the surreal scene in a statement. He said the car appeared undamaged despite the unusual parking spot.
Road conditions remain challenging throughout the region. Morning commuters should exercise extra caution on untreated surfaces.
This incident highlights the ongoing winter driving hazards in Scandinavian countries. Even experienced drivers can encounter trouble when black ice forms unexpectedly.
Norwegian authorities typically salt major roads but residential areas may receive less attention. The combination of freezing temperatures and overnight moisture creates particularly dangerous conditions.
