Driver hospitalized after crash following police pursuit in Trondheim region

A driver was seriously injured early Friday morning when their car left the road and overturned near Buvika, southwest of Trondheim, following a brief police pursuit, *Dagbladet* reports.

Emergency services, including an air ambulance, responded to the single-vehicle crash at approximately 1:33 a.m. The road was closed at Brekka following the incident, according to the Norwegian Public Roads Administration.

Police confirmed they had observed the vehicle and initiated a short pursuit before terminating it shortly before the crash. “There is nothing to indicate this was a high-speed chase,” operations leader Kristine Stølen told *Adresseavisen*. The driver, the sole occupant, was transported to hospital, though the extent of their injuries remains unclear.

Norway’s Special Unit, which investigates police-related incidents, has been notified as standard procedure.
