A severe snowstorm in Skåne, Sweden, has caused chaos on E22 highway, leading to over 1,000 cars getting stranded.
The situation escalated when an ambulance carrying a patient was stuck for over seven hours.
Despite having the tools and skills to open up the highway guardrail, Nicolai Silverbeerg was denied permission by police, who were awaiting approval from their superiors.
Meanwhile, the evacuation process is ongoing with the aid of police, rescue services, and the military.
The effort to clear the road is estimated to be completed by midnight.
In the midst of this, drones have been deployed to provide a visual understanding of the situation.
