Police, rescue services and an ambulance were alerted to the accident site just before 8 pm.

- The car must have driven on the a-tractor from behind and then overturned.

Both drivers were taken to hospital by ambulance, says Conny Jensen, operations manager at the rescue service in Östra Blekinge.

It is unclear what injuries it must have been.

While the rescue work was in progress, traffic was shut off in a southerly direction.

- There were some queues at the site.

Both cars had to be salvaged, says Conny Jensen.
