Dozens caught in Norway tunnel fire

Dozens of people had to be taken to hospital after being caught in a fire in seven-mile long Norwegian road tunnel.

An articulated lorry caught fire two miles into the Gudvangatunnelen tunnel in a district east of Bergen and 155 people were safely evacuated.

A rescue services spokesman said the lights went out in the tunnel after the fire. Most of the injured suffered smoke inhalation, but some had minor injuries after they crashed their cars in the darkness.

The truck driver was among those who walked away uninjured. The cause of the fire is not yet known.
