Serious Moose Collision on Swedish Highway

A driver was hospitalized after a serious moose collision on the E20 highway near Eskilstuna. The accident occurred at 3:45 AM when a moose entered the roadway. A passenger car struck a large adult moose, according to police commander Oscar Palmgren. Emergency services transported one person to the hospital for treatment. The E20 remains partially closed while investigators examine the scene. Moose collisions present serious dangers on Swedish roads, particularly during dawn and dusk hours when visibility decreases. These large animals can weigh up to 700 kilograms and cause substantial vehicle damage. Swedish authorities have documented increasing wildlife accidents in this region during recent years. Road safety experts emphasize the importance of reduced speed and heightened awareness in areas marked with moose warning signs. This latest incident highlights the ongoing challenge of wildlife vehicle collisions in Scandinavia's forested regions.
