"The prediction is that there will be a total stop in the northbound direction until half past eleven," says Johan Wallin, management operator at the rescue service.

However, a southbound lane should be open, according to information at nine in the morning.

A truck driver is trapped and cut out by rescue personnel on site.

Truck drove into truck

The entire accident started already at half past eight on Wednesday morning. A passenger car then drove through the center rail, which resulted in both driving directions being turned off. Car queues occurred. A lane in each direction was open again at eight o'clock. But then the next accident happened.

"It is a consequential accident where a truck drove into a stationary truck," says Johan Wallin at the rescue service.

None of the trucks should carry dangerous goods, which facilitates rescue work, he says.
