Emergency crews transported one person to the hospital following a serious truck accident on the E12 highway in Rana, Norway. Police are investigating the cause of the collision that occurred Thursday morning.
The E12 highway remains closed in both directions as authorities work at the scene. The road connects northern Norway with Sweden and serves as a major transport route.
Operations leader May Wenche Hansen described the incident as appearing extremely serious in a police log statement. Only one vehicle appears involved in the Norway highway accident.
Local traffic is being redirected through alternative routes. The E12 closure affects both commuter travel and commercial transport in the Nordland region.
This latest traffic incident highlights the challenges of maintaining safe travel on Norway's northern highways, especially during changing seasonal conditions. The police investigation will determine what caused the single-vehicle accident on this important transport corridor.
