Låvebro collapsed in Elverum - three schoolchildren to hospital

Three students were sent to the hospital or emergency room after a wooden bridge collapsed at Glomdalsmuseum in Elverum municipality in Innlandet on Friday afternoon. The incident occurred while a school class was taking a group photo on the bridge. The police are investigating the cause of the collapse, which is currently unknown. The fall height was approximately 2 to 2.5 meters. Between 25 and 30 students were on or near the bridge when it collapsed, though it is unclear how many were standing on the part that collapsed.
