A serious collision has created extensive traffic delays on the E4 highway approaching Stockholm from the north. Three vehicles, including one pulling a trailer, crashed near Järva Krog in Solna.
The accident has forced the closure of two out of three lanes. Recovery teams must remove all damaged vehicles from the scene.
Emergency services including rescue teams and ambulances responded immediately. The extent of injuries to those involved remains unclear at this time.
Transport authorities estimate cleanup operations will continue until 5:30 PM local time. This major artery connecting northern Sweden to the capital will experience significant disruptions throughout the afternoon.
The E4 highway serves as Sweden's primary north-south transportation corridor. Accidents during peak travel times regularly create bottlenecks affecting thousands of commuters.
Stockholm's highway system frequently struggles with congestion even during normal conditions. A single incident can paralyze traffic for hours given the limited alternative routes available.
