Winter Snowstorm Causes Multiple Traffic Incidents in Southern Sweden

A heavy snowfall of up to ten centimeters in southern Sweden has led to slippery road conditions and several traffic accidents. Among the incidents, a truck slid off the road and crashed into Anders Johansson's garden around 7 PM. Johansson described how one of the truck’s wheels broke through his fence, with the trailer twisted, noting this wasn't the first time vehicles have ended up in his garden due to the hazardous roads.

The storm's impact extended beyond this crash, with a major ten-vehicle collision reported near Norberg in Västmanland. Travel disruptions were widespread, exemplified by Joakim Zachén's journey from Stockholm to Örebro, which was delayed by an hour and a half due to traffic jams caused by icy inclines and stuck trucks, even with detours onto side roads.

Despite the delays and accidents, Zachén noted that drivers appeared to adapt carefully to the conditions, and he did not perceive the overall traffic situation as severe. Contrary to southern Sweden, he observed the roads in Stockholm remained clear during the snowfall. This ongoing winter weather continues to challenge travel safety and disrupt traffic flow across the region.
