The accident occurred just before 9 pm. The E45 was closed from Väsby to Vålberg in both directions during the evening because the load blocked the roadways.

- It must have been equipment for a wind turbine, says Christina Hallin, the police spokesperson.

The trains were also affected during the evening as the railway runs right next to the accident site.

The Swedish Transport Administration estimates that the section will not fully open to traffic until eight o'clock on Tuesday morning.

- It is about a hundred tons that will be salvaged, says Christina Hallin.

There is still no information on personal injuries in connection with the accident.
