Early Tuesday morning, two separate incidents occurred within 15 minutes and a few miles apart.
The first accident happened near Almnäs, where a car collided with a moose, resulting in one person being hospitalized.
Shortly after, another crash involving three cars and a moose took place near Läggesta, Mariefred, leading to two hospitalizations, one with serious injuries.
These accidents led to complete road closures and long traffic queues.
