Severe Snowstorm Causes Chaos on Swedish Roads

Published: 2024-01-17

A severe snowstorm across Sweden has resulted in numerous traffic accidents and significant disruptions.

The storm has led to several road traffic incidents, particularly involving trucks struggling on the roads, leading to closures in both directions.

The snowstorm has particularly affected Skåne, with several accidents causing roads to be closed off.

The Swedish Transport Administration, Trafikverket, has been working tirelessly to manage the situation, describing it as an 'endless task' until the snowfall ceases.

As the storm continues to move north, it is expected to bring further disruptions, particularly affecting the area from Sundsvall up to Umeå, where up to three decimeters of snow is expected.

Experts are advising caution and alertness for those needing to travel.
