A driver in northern Sweden crashed with a moose early Monday morning. Emergency services received the alarm at 5:45 AM. Rescue teams and an ambulance rushed to the scene on Highway 97.
The major road was completely closed during rescue operations. Traffic began moving again from the south after one hour.
Authorities called a tracking hunter to the accident site. Officials confirmed the moose died in the collision.
No information is available about the driver's condition. The person was transported to a hospital for treatment.
Moose collisions pose serious dangers on Swedish roads, particularly in northern regions where wildlife populations are high. These accidents frequently cause severe vehicle damage and human injuries despite Sweden's extensive wildlife fencing efforts.
