Published: 2024-01-12

In a recent snowstorm on E22, a highway in Skåne, Sweden, hundreds of cars were stranded due to heavy snowfall.

Rescue services were late to understand the severity of the situation, as stated by Martin Gertsson, the on-duty rescue chief.

Trafikverket, the Swedish Transport Administration, admits that the highway should have been closed earlier, and the incident is now under review.

The need for more efficient communication and action in crisis situations is being highlighted by authorities.
