Driver charged after fatal traffic accident on the E6 at Mo i Rana

The driver of one of the cars involved in a frontal collision in Mo i Rana last Thursday has been charged. A 28-year-old man died in the accident.

The 28-year-old man was confirmed dead on the spot when two cars collided head-on on the E6 south of Mo i Rana late Thursday night last week. There were two people in each car, and two were slightly injured while a third was seriously injured.

“On the basis of information that has emerged in the police investigation, the driver of the vehicle that collided with the deceased’s vehicle has been given the status charged in the case,” police attorney Joachim Nymann in the Nordland Police District stated in a press release.

The man is charged with negligent homicide, negligent driving, driving under the influence, and driving without a driver’s license. The accused man has admitted criminal guilt for driving without a valid driver’s license, but not for the other circumstances.

At the same time, the police revealed that 28-year-old Tor-Erik Havn died in the accident. His name has been made public in consultation with the relatives.
