Norway traffic accident kills 12-year-old boy of Bosnian origin

E18 highway traffic accident Larvik Kristiansand Norway

A 12-year-old boy, Ibrahim Mujanović, died in a severe traffic accident on the E18 highway near Bommestad, close to Larvik, Norway. The incident occurred on a Thursday morning while the family was traveling from Kristiansand toward Sandefjord.

The vehicle, carrying both parents and six children, reportedly lost control, overturned onto its roof, and landed in a ditch. Witnesses and police officers confirmed that the roadway was extremely slippery at the scene. While investigators are looking into various factors, including vehicle condition and safety belt usage, there is currently no suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Norway's Public Roads Administration stated that while some parts of the highway were salted during the night, this specific section was not salted because the road was assessed as dry. However, officials confirmed the surface was slippery at the time of the crash.

Ibrahim was a seventh-grade student at Vågsbygd school in Kristiansand. School principal Ellinor Skaiaa Aas described him as a wonderful boy who was a central figure among his peers. In mourning, the school has flown its flag at half-mast, and local authorities in Kristiansand have pledged psychological support to the family.
