A major Swedish highway remains closed in both directions after a serious collision involving two cars and a tractor. The E18 motorway south of Årjäng is currently blocked to all traffic.
Emergency services transported a teenage boy to hospital by ambulance. The teenager was driving the tractor at the time of the accident.
Police identified a man in his 40s as the responsible driver. He was operating one of the passenger vehicles involved in the crash.
The E18 serves as a crucial transportation route connecting Sweden and Norway. This closure affects travel between the two countries during peak summer season.
Road safety experts note that tractor accidents on major highways remain concerning despite existing regulations. The investigation continues as authorities work to clear the scene and reopen the vital transport corridor.
