A 44-year-old woman is in stable condition after being hit by a car during a car meet at Dyrskuepladsen (the Dyrskue Grounds) in Roskilde, Denmark, on Saturday evening. The incident occurred on Saturday afternoon when a 28-year-old man drove into the woman.

According to the Mid and West Zealand Police (Midt- og Vestsjællands Politi), the man was under the influence of drugs at the time of the accident. Duty Officer Lars Galasz reported that a drug test conducted at the scene revealed intoxicating substances in the man’s system, which resulted in his arrest and subsequent charges. The brief arrest was aimed at securing a blood sample for further testing.

Emergency services received the report of the accident at 5 PM, after the man attempted to make a U-turn on a grassy field without noticing that the woman was lying down sunbathing. The collision struck the woman across her abdomen, resulting in her being airlifted to Rigshospitalet (Copenhagen University Hospital) by a medical helicopter. She was conscious during transport.

Lars Galasz stated that the woman sustained a punctured lung and bleeding in her liver, but she is reported to be in stable condition while still hospitalized.

The incident took place during the Viking Run, an event celebrating American cars that attracted many car enthusiasts.
