Nine injured when children’s train overturned in Telemark – Dagbladet.no

Nine people were injured when a mini-train for children overturned at a campsite on Gvarv Telemark.

The carriage overturned on the side when it drove over a bump.

Traditional

One of the guests at the campsite tells Dagbladet that tour with the mini-train is a annual tradition of camping text.

– They hooted and it was so cozy for kids, says the guest, who did not want his name published.

But when the train would turn it was no longer fun.

– The carriage overturned as slow motion and all the children tumbled out. They yelled and screamed. It was hard to say then whether it was hysteria or severe, but it was the both, says camping guest.

A person is flown to Ullevål Hospital with serious injuries. Three people have been taken to hospital in Skien with unknown amount of damage, and five people are slightly injured, police said.
