Hundreds of people were stranded in snow chaos on the E4 highway between Jönköping and Huskvarna, with many forced to spend the night in their vehicles.

Civil Defense Minister Carl-Oskar Bohlin admonished drivers, emphasizing the importance of not using summer tires in winter conditions.

The situation has prompted discussions on shared responsibilities between the state, authorities, and citizens to prevent such incidents.

Despite efforts by the authorities and a slight improvement in conditions, traffic disruptions persist, highlighting the challenges posed by sudden weather changes and the need for preparedness.
