Norway investigates deadly head-on crash as Europe sees surge in frontal collisions
A deadly head-on collision in Drangedal, Norway, leaves one person fighting for their life after their car crashes into an oncoming vehicle. Emergency services airlift the critically injured driver to Ullevål Hospital in Oslo, where doctors describe their condition as life-threatening, according to reports in *Aftenposten* .
The crash occurred on a stretch of road in Telemark county, though authorities have not released further details about the cause or identities of those involved. Norwegian police are investigating the incident, which marks the latest in a series of severe frontal collisions across Europe this week.
Elsewhere, a head-on crash near Jever, Germany, leaves a woman in critical condition. The collision, reported by *Zeit*, involves two vehicles on a local road, though no fatalities have been confirmed . In Slovakia, three people sustain injuries after two cars collide on the I/18 highway near Žilina, with firefighters providing first aid at the scene .
The incidents follow a separate tragedy in Dinslaken, Germany, where a driver veers off the road and strikes three children on bicycles, killing two 12-year-olds and injuring a third. Investigators are examining whether a medical emergency—such as a heart attack or seizure—may have caused the driver to lose control . The driver, whose identity remains undisclosed, also collides with parked cars after the initial impact. German authorities continue to probe the circumstances, including toxicology reports and vehicle telemetry data.
