- The person had received help from people on the spot and had gotten out of the car when we got there, explains Lasse Rystedt, rescue chief on standby at the rescue service.

The accident occurred just before 6.30 pm on Friday night.

The driver, the only one sitting in the car, was taken by ambulance to hospital and the injury situation is unknown.

When the car had caught fire, the fire spread "about ten meters" to nearby trees.

At around 8 pm, the rescue service states that they are awaiting rescue but that there will be no impact on traffic.
