According to the police, there must be some form of gas cylinders on the truck, which is in the direction of Köping.

The rescue service has therefore decided to close the road in both directions.

According to the rescue service, it is a fully developed fire and there is a risk of explosion.

- The biggest danger is that the bottles can fly away and injure someone, says Johan Gegnert, internal officer at Mälardalen Fire and Rescue Association.

The rescue service seeks contact with residents in the vicinity so that they can be placed in safety and a VMA will be issued according to the rescue service.
