Accident Causes Traffic Jam on Copenhagen's Vestmotorvejen

A morning accident partially closed the Vestmotorvejen highway between Slagelse and Sorø on Monday. Traffic authorities reported the crash occurred around 6 AM.

Police confirmed no injuries resulted from the collision. A police supervisor described the incident as driver inattention causing a rear-end collision.

The highway toward Copenhagen remained completely blocked for nearly one hour. One lane reopened around 7 AM while emergency crews continued working in the right lane.

Traffic now flows steadily through the area as cleanup operations progress. The Vestmotorvejen serves as a major transportation artery connecting western Denmark to the capital region.

This type of morning rush hour accident highlights the vulnerability of Denmark's road network to sudden disruptions. The quick reopening of one lane demonstrates efficient emergency response despite the initial traffic chaos.
