Two people were taken to hospital after a car rolled over at least twice near Eyri in southern Fáskrúðsfjörður, Iceland.
Four people were inside the vehicle. Firefighters initially faced uncertainty about the crash location and the number of injured people, so two ambulances from separate stations and an on-call supervisor went to the scene. A technical vehicle was dispatched but later recalled when crews determined it was not needed.
The road was closed temporarily to ensure safety during the response. The other passengers escaped without significant injuries and went for medical checks. The Fjarðabyggð fire service said the crash marked its second traffic-accident call on Suðurfjarðavegur in the past two weeks.
