Two men are missing after a swimming incident in the Pite River near a campsite in Älvsbyn, according to reports from SOS Alarm and Piteå-Tidningen.

The alarm about a potential drowning was raised around 11 AM, prompting a search operation by the rescue services, which concluded at 4 PM.

However, police continue to search for the missing individuals with the assistance of divers.

In a separate incident, two rear-end collisions occurred in Skåne, causing significant traffic disruptions.

The road is closed in both directions, and it remains unclear if anyone was taken to the hospital.

Traffic is being redirected, and the situation is being monitored by Trafikverket.
