Three Dead, Four Injured After Tourist Bus Crashes in Norway

The bus, carrying passengers from eight countries, veered off a snowy road into a lake near the Lofoten archipelago, complicating rescue efforts due to severe weather.

The crash occurred on Thursday in the Hadsel district of Norway, with the bus partially sliding into Åsvatnet lake along the E10 road.
Among the three fatalities were two women and a child; four others sustained serious injuries and were airlifted to a hospital.
The bus was carrying 58 passengers, including foreign nationals from eight countries, making it challenging to contact relatives due to incomplete passenger lists.
Severe weather conditions, including heavy snow and strong winds, hindered rescue operations and delayed access to the accident site.
Authorities have launched an investigation into the cause of the crash, while survivors were provided shelter and support at a local school.
