Fatal military vehicle accident in Trøndelag
Overview
A fatal accident occurred during a military exercise in Stjørdal, Trøndelag. Police reported that the incident involved a vehicle at an address in Frigården on a Thursday night. Emergency responders performed heart and lung resuscitation on a patient at the scene, but a man in his 20s died as a result of the accident.
New details indicate the deceased was an officer in the Norwegian Air Force. The incident involved a heavy military vehicle, reportedly a Toyota Land Cruiser medical vehicle, at the Frigård shooting range. While the event took place during a field exercise, officials noted the accident occurred during an administrative vehicle movement rather than during active training maneuvers.
One hypothesis being investigated suggests the man may have attempted to start the vehicle from the outside, causing it to move and pin him. The Norwegian Accident Investigation Board (SHK) and police are investigating the circumstances. The Air Force has provided psychological support to personnel at the Værnes base defense school.
