According to the police, a toppled road sign punctured between 20 and 25 cars on Østjyske Motorvej. Now responsibility must be placed.
No motorists were injured. But there are bills waiting for lots of new tires after a road sign on Østjyske Motorvej around exit 57 at Horsens in the northbound direction overturned.

According to the South Jutland Police, it was a sign that was lying with the screws upwards. And so it has gone beyond the many cars.
It may all be the Road Directorate's fault. However, the police must first assess that now that the sign has been removed and the site has been cleaned up.

– There are no reports of injuries. There is no indication that this was a deliberate act, says Halfdan Kramer, who is the head of duty at the South East Jutland Police, to TV2.
Even if it turns out that the Norwegian Road Administration cannot be held responsible for the punctured tires on Østjyske Motorvej, the authorities will not escape responsibility for damages in other cases.
This was acknowledged by the head of department in the Road Directorate, Maria Sande, in an email to the Boosted editorial staff, when a completely new type of speed bump came to the country in 2022.
– Should an accident occur, contrary to expectations, where it can be demonstrated that damage to a corvette was caused by a fault with an Actibump and not due to other conditions, then compensation claims can be made to the Norwegian Road Directorate, says the head of the department.

Compensation may also come into question with the police, after the National Police has again been knocked into place and asked to stop an illegal practice among the country's police circles, which have gone after possibly illegally modified cars.
However, lawyer Johanne Berner tells Boosted that the police can get away with a very small compensation for the drivers.
It was she who, together with the Danish Automobile Industry Council, won over the police's practice in the Western High Court. But that does not mean that the affected drivers each have fortunes to look forward to. Read more about it here .
