A motorcyclist in his 20s died in a head-on collision with a car on County Road 319 near Hanekleiva in Holmestrand municipality, Norway, on Monday evening, police confirmed. The crash occurred shortly before 20:00 local time, prompting emergency responders to attempt life-saving measures before the victim was pronounced dead at 20:45. Authorities have detained the car driver, who was treated for minor injuries but is now under psychiatric evaluation, according to operations leader Ottar Steinstø of the South-East Police District. The road remains closed as forensic teams and accident investigators from the Norwegian Public Roads Administration assess the scene.

Police said the motorcyclist veered into his own lane, skidded, and collided with the oncoming vehicle. A witness and the car driver have been interviewed, Steinstø told NRK Vestfold og Telemark . The driver, visibly shaken, is receiving psychological support, the police statement added.

The tragedy follows another fatal motorcycle crash in the same municipality on Sunday, when a 20-year-old biker also died. Authorities have not yet established a link between the two incidents, but the back-to-back fatalities have heightened scrutiny of road safety in the region.

In Greece, a 67-year-old man died after collapsing aboard the passenger ferry *Tera Jet 2* in Andros on Monday.

The cause of collapse has not been disclosed.

In the Netherlands, a fire brigade vehicle broke apart after leaving the N62 slip road to the Westerscheldetunnel in Zeeland, injuring one person .
