The first accident occurred at half past one when a motorist was rolling just north of Katrineholm on Route 56. The driver must have gotten out of the car on his own, according to early information from the scene.

The road was closed

One motorist then drove into another motorist from behind on Route 55 south of Katrineholm. The road has been closed in both directions between Jansberg and the roundabout Grysa's grave and the police are directing the traffic until the rescue work is completed.

- The forecast is that it will be ready by three o'clock, says Josefine Gröndahl at the Swedish Transport Administration.

In the queue that was formed, another crash occurred. According to the alarm to SOS, two trucks and two passenger cars were involved.

Calls for caution

It is very slippery on the spot.

- I do not know how serious these accidents are and I do not know anything about the injury situation of those involved, says police spokesman Björn Öberg.

Police are directing traffic further south of Katrineholm and police are calling for caution.
