Armed soldiers are guarding an overturned military transport vehicle on Norway's E6 highway. The truck was carrying a missile launcher for an air defense system when it crashed Tuesday morning. Emergency services responded to the accident between Lundamo and Flå in Melhus municipality. The first alert came at 8:15 AM. Authorities immediately closed the E6 highway near Høgsæte following the incident. Traffic has been manually directed through one lane at various periods throughout the day. Road authorities announced the highway closed again at 3:25 PM. The Norwegian Air Force confirmed the cargo included a launch ramp for air defense equipment. This stretch of E6 serves as a major transportation corridor connecting central and northern Norway. Military transports regularly use this route for equipment movements between bases. The presence of armed guards suggests the sensitive nature of the military equipment involved. Such visible military presence on public highways remains uncommon in peacetime Norway.
