It was around 06:00 that the accident occurred on national highway 26. The two vehicles collided head-on and according to the rescue service, it was a real bang.

- One person from the car has been taken to hospital by ambulance, says interior commander Peter Stened.

Traffic is being diverted

The tanker is loaded with both diesel and petrol, but there should have only been a minor leak which could be quickly cleaned up.

All that remains now is to empty the trailer of all fuel - a process that can take several hours.

- Traffic is diverted via Åled.

I can't say how long, says Peter Stened.
