Truck and Car Crash Blocks E20 Highway Near Gothenburg

A serious traffic accident occurred on the E20 highway at Munkebäcksmotet in Gothenburg. The crash involves a truck and a passenger car. One lane toward Malmö has been closed, causing major traffic disruptions. Road assistance and recovery vehicles are en route to the scene.

Police confirmed a dispute occurred between the drivers involved. Officers are currently heading to the location. "The vehicles are blocking the roadway according to reports," said police spokesperson Johan Håkansson in a statement.

The E20 is a major transportation artery connecting Sweden's west coast cities. This closure will likely create lengthy delays during morning commute hours. Authorities have not yet provided an estimated clearance time for the affected lane.

Highway accidents causing complete lane closures typically result in hours of congestion. Commuters should expect substantial delays and consider alternative routes if traveling between Gothenburg and Malmö today.
