This is stated by the West police district.
The deceased was a man in his 30s. Relatives have been notified.
The collision occurred at Kaigaten in central Bergen.
The electric kick cyclist must have been lying under the Bybanen for a while, according to the police.
It was first reported by the police that it was a cyclist. Police are still investigating the scene.
The driver of the track and other witnesses will be offered further follow-up by health personnel, the police say.
Øyvind Strømmen, press contact at the public transport company Skyss, states that such a tragic event triggers the involvement of a number of different actors.
– Here, there are slightly different players who have different responsibilities: the Blålysetatene is involved, follow-up of the conductor falls on the operator, Tide and Bybanen AS. Then there will be a mapping of what has happened together with the police afterwards. In such an event, a staff is typically deployed, Strømmen tells Dagbladet.
Both Bybanen’s lines are affected by the fatal accident: Line 1 runs between Byparken and Danmarks plass, while line 2 runs between Kaigaten and Kronstad.
– It is unclear how long traffic will be affected. We encourage people to follow the websites and the app, says Strømmen.
The accident team will not come to the scene, the police said at 08:23.
– After a conference with the incident leader, the accident group does not go to the scene of the accident. This is based on the information that the police have obtained about the accident. The accident site is in the process of being released, and an attempt will be made to get traffic moving again shortly, the police write on X.
At 09.07, the police report that traffic is moving as normal. The police have finished at the scene of the accident.
