Two people fled the scene following a traffic collision between two cars in Oslo on Saturday afternoon. The accident occurred around 1:45 PM near Brynseng metro station along Østensjøveien.
Police confirmed three occupants in one vehicle emerged physically unharmed. The two individuals in the other vehicle immediately left the scene on foot.
Authorities launched a search for the missing persons. By 3 PM, officers had apprehended one suspect connected to the driving that caused the collision.
Operations leader Bjørn Gunnar Nysæter stated the individual will undergo testing for potential substance impairment. The detained person shows no physical injuries from the incident.
Police continue searching for the second occupant who fled from the accident site. Østensjøveien experienced temporary closure between Tvetenveien and Brynshøgda during the investigation.
A marked police vehicle with emergency lights blocked the roadway toward Helsfyr for an extended period. The swift police response led to one apprehension within hours, though the search continues for the remaining individual.
Fleeing accident scenes typically compounds legal consequences in Norway, where hit-and-run incidents carry severe penalties regardless of initial fault.
