Several hospitalized after mass crash in haze on E22 in Blekinge

Five people were taken to hospital after a multi-vehicle crash on the E22 in Blekinge, where road users reported suddenly reduced visibility as strong winds blew sand across the road.

Whether the sand actually caused the accident is not clear, according to police, but cars crashed on both sides of the wire fence.

"It was like driving straight into a wall, where visibility went to zero in a microsecond," a road user tells Sydöstran.

A total of 16 cars and around 30 people were involved in the accident, which occurred just outside Sölvesborg at around 3 p.m., reports Blekinge Läns Tidning.

The road was closed in both directions for a long time, but was reopened later Monday evening.

It is not clear whether anyone is seriously injured.
