A series of accidents on E4 from Sundsvall to south of Örnsköldsvik have caused significant traffic disruptions.

The most concerning of these incidents involved a truck carrying lithium batteries that veered off the road in Antjärn, south of Härnösand.

The road was closed on both occasions, and recovery work is still ongoing after one accident.

The exact circumstances remain unclear, but according to police, road conditions are slippery.

Following the stoppage on E4 between Timrå and Härnösand that lasted over 12 hours, critical voices are being raised against the Swedish Transport Administration's road maintenance.

A truck driver with 45 years of experience has criticized the lack of ice control and questioned why the roads are not being sanded.

Meanwhile, the rescue service has urged caution due to multiple traffic accidents in Västernorrland.

The traffic situation remains severely impacted, with attempts being made to redirect traffic.
