A major truck overturned on Norway's E6 highway Tuesday morning. The accident occurred between Lundamo and Flå in Melhus municipality. Emergency services received the first alert at 8:15 AM.
The incident happened near the exit for Lundamovegen road. Police confirmed the driver appeared shaken but not seriously injured. Authorities immediately closed the affected section of E6.
Many motorists now face lengthy detours around the closed highway. The E6 serves as a crucial transportation artery through central Norway. This closure disrupts travel between Trondheim and other southern regions.
Cleanup operations are underway to remove the overturned vehicle. Officials have not provided an estimated reopening time for the highway. The accident investigation continues to determine the cause.
Such incidents highlight the vulnerability of Norway's main transport routes. Even single accidents can create major disruptions across the mountainous country's limited highway network.
