The victims were airlifted by helicopter to two separate hospitals following the crash.
Police spokesman Børge Hals told Oppland Arbeiderblad: "Both of the survivors are injured, but, as far as we know, there is no talk of serious injury." One of the survivors was brought to Ullevål Hospital; the other one to Ahus Hospital. The sheep died immediately.
