The elk accidents have been scattered throughout the county during the afternoon and evening. The first crash happened at 16.17 in Transtrandsfjällen in Malung-Sälen municipality, then followed in Orsa municipality, one in Grytnäs church village in Avesta, one between Vika and Mora, and two accidents at different locations in Ludvika.

"I have never seen anything like it," says Mats Öhman, press spokesman for SVT Dalarna police and continues:

- I can only see that it is a coincidence, but there are extremely many moose accidents in such a short time. It might be one or two a day.

No person seriously injured

No person should have been seriously injured in any of the accidents. Search hunters have been deployed in any case to look after the damage to the moose, except in one of the accidents in Ludvika municipality, where the moose died and was taken care of by hunters.
