A powerful snowstorm has caused chaos across western Sweden, with heavy snowfall and strong winds creating hazardous conditions.

Traffic has been severely disrupted, with still-standing trucks blocking roads in Uddevalla and other areas.

Plows struggle to keep roads clear as snow quickly accumulates again.

The Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) issued warnings for snow and wind, urging people to avoid unnecessary travel.

Train services between Uddevalla and Strömstad, as well as other routes, were suspended due to the weather.

Emergency services have been working tirelessly to clear roads and assist stranded vehicles.

The storm is expected to ease over the weekend, but more snow may arrive by Sunday evening.
