- We have had seven, eight accidents in the South region in one and a half hours.

It's a little more than it usually is, says Rickard Lundquist, the police's press spokesperson. 

Four cars involved

On Österleden in Helsingborg, a collision took place with four cars involved.

One person was taken to hospital. 

The accident occurred shortly after 2 pm, between Ängelholmsleden and Välavägen, and Österleden was closed during the rescue operation. 

Several accidents on the E6

On the E6, outside Ängelholm, a single-vehicle accident occurred just before 2 pm. The road was closed for an hour, from the Höja junction to the Rebbelberga junction. 

On the E6, outside Trelleborg, a single-vehicle accident with a car north of Skegrie occurred at around 3 pm.

The road was closed and reopened after about half an hour. 

Traffic accidents also occurred in Landskrona, Vinslöv, Lönsboda and Ystad.

Elsewhere in the county, stationary cars along the road caused traffic problems.
