Pain In Neck Region After Collision - January 18, 2004

Last year, Kurt Nilsen bought his girlfriend Kristine Jacobsen a nice used Opel Astra for Christmas. Yesterday they both ended up at the casualty clinic with light injuries, when their car was involved in a pile-up in Bergen.



Kurt and his girlsfriend was on their way home to Arna in their new car when the accident happened, but fortunately none of their kids, Marte (7) and Erik (4) was with them.

Both complained about neck pains after getting hit by a car from behind, and Kurt got an supporting collar around his neck before he and his girlfriend was driven away with the ambulance.
After getting an medical examination, the couple could go home after a few hours. When VG (Norwegian newspaper) knocked on their door last night, the idol was laying on the couch slacking off.

Heavy hit

- He is fine. The scheduled plans for the days to come will probably continue as normal, said a friend of Kurt that had been sent to the door telling that Kurt didn't want to talk to the press.

According to the friend, Kurt and his girlfriend was exposed for a heavy hit.

- They had stopped and was hit from behind in 70kmh. You can only imagine, he says.

The accident happened on the motorway in Sandviken, Bergen about 14:00 pm yesterday. Kristine, Kurt's girlfriend who was driving the car, suddenly had to slam on the brakes because of the car ahead of them who eased down the speed.

Behind them came a Toyota Corolla that didn't manage to stop. The car crashed into Kurt and Kristine's car, which again hit the one in front of them. The man who hit their car, says he didn't have a chance to stop.

- The two cars in front of me slackened their speed and stopped because of someone who didn't keep it's duty to give away to approaching traffic. These are things that happens everyday, says the man, and claims it was a dry and not slippery road when the accident occured.

Extensive damages

- How did Kurt take it?

- He is a completely normal person and took it calmly. He was a bit stiff in his neck, so he went to the clinic with his girlfriend.

The person, who was on his way home to his wife could go home after the accident. The two-year old car had to be transported to the workshop.

According to the man, the car behind him just managed to steer away when he hit Kurt and Kristine's car.

Their car will now have to be repaired for a large amount of money.

PS! Kurt Nilsen does not have a driver license.
