Why he stopped his vehicle and left it on the motorway I do not know. We have seized the vehicle, says the police's press spokesperson Mats Pettersson.

The incident is being investigated as reckless endangerment of another's life, gross negligence in traffic and gross hit-and-run.

We have no suspect and we have not found the other vehicle. Now it's an investigation case. One of the first measures is to see what camera material is available around, says Pettersson.

The alarm about the accident came at 18 o'clock on Friday. The road was closed in a westerly direction towards Eskilstuna in connection with the rescue and towing work.
