– We can only praise ourselves happy that there were people in the hall, ” says Anita Nybø, who is the managing director of the Funicular.
on Wednesday evening. A motor vehicle driver stands at the head of the departure hall and waiting for any last passengers come running to now 23-the departure towards the top. Instead of hastende passengers, he is faced with the following sight: A car braser through the glass doors and provides gas down the hall.
the Motorist drove into at the Funicular railway
Followed the drama
I need not say that the driver of the vehicle was rather shocked at the sight. He was in a rest room completely at the venue. The driver of the vehicle followed the event on overvåkingsskjerm. He was never in danger, but nevertheless, we have chosen to shelter him for the press, says Nybø.
She and technical manager Inge B. Eriksen is still easier shaken after the incident on Wednesday evening. We meet them in the entrance to the Funicular railway Thursday by 9-time.
– Completely incomprehensible
– the Damage is not particularly extensive, but that some may find to ride with the car into where it is usually queues of people, yes, it is just completely incomprehensible. This is galmannskjøring, says Nybø.
– If this had happened earlier in the evening, there could have been lives lost. We are out of season, and there are few people with the path in the evening, but I looked for me a much worse sight when I was first notified of the incident at 23.15-time on Wednesday night.
There was a Volkswagen Golf which dundret through the gate and down into the hall. The police suspect that the driver, a man in the end of the 30-years, was anti-drink. A passenger in the car was in the middle of 20-years.
– Had access to the keys
the Owner of the car is born in 1989. The two involved in the incident have told that they have got to borrow the car. This has the police not been confirmed yet.
the Car stood on Sotra. I know the man who drove. He has had access to the keys, but it is surely more proper to say that the car is tyvlånt, says the owner of BT.
– What can you say about the man? He has tried his hand at something similar in the past?
” I know him not so well.
– Is the car insured?
– Yes, the car is insured, but I know not yet what I shall do. It is a 2003 model. A bit special this, ” says the owner.
– the Funicular will probably have their money back, it costs a good part of a thousand
Events
” What happened was that the man went out and moved a couple of cones that stood in the entrance by the ticket office. He then gave full throttle, butted the car against the glass wall, before he shattered the entrance. A few more cones or midtdelere stood in the hall. These he drove over and went 20 meters into the hall, ” says technical manager Inge B. Eriksen, which on Thursday morning has begun on reparasjonsarbeidene.
Now the insurance company connected.
- Took a little time
Tom Willy Myhre is acting head of section at trafikkavsnittet, Bergen city centre police station. There are now investigating the Funicular-case.
Myhre says the car ran a bit forward and back at the entrance, before the driver “gave the gas and moved through”.
It took some time before he was able to penetrate through. He ran down several poles with the ties used to hold the queue. And then he was standing inside the hall.
the Police received the message directly from the Funicular railway clock 23.04 Wednesday night.
The alleged driver was taken to the emergency room for a blood test. I don’t know the result of it, but it is suspected ruspåvirkning. I won’t go into what type of substance abuse we suspect, ” says Myhre.
Police are now investigating the case. A video of the event, from the security camera will likely shed more light on what actually happened.
Rods with sprinkler
The great values we are not talking about. It is more the shock of the that someone can do this that affect us, ” says Nybø.
She says that at 23.30-time is a sprinkler that shuts the entrance to the Funicular.
the ticket office closes after the last departure from the lower station. When the Funicular coming down again after the last trip, the entrance closed. After 23.30, this would probably not be able to happened, ” says the director.
the Funicular went as normally from 07: 30 on Thursday morning.
