The fire was quickly extinguished and by 06 the rescue service had just left the accident site.

- The entire tractor was completely burnt out.

We managed to save the trailer, says Pa Ekvall, operations manager at Norrhälsinge rescue service.

The truck was a total of 24 meters long with a car and trailer.

Rescue services believe that the fire may have started because the brakes overheated.

- No person was injured in the fire, he says.

During the morning, there is a total stop in the northbound lane until the truck can be salvaged from the site.

Traffic is diverted along road 583 via Lindefallet.
