A truck carrying pigs has overturned on Highway 24, P4 Traffic News reports.
The road is closed between Hörja and Hörlinge, and traffic is stopped in both directions.
The scene is described as chaotic, with pigs running into surrounding fields. It is not yet known how many animals are involved or whether any have been injured.
Police say on their website that they received an alert about the accident at 9.48 on Monday. Police and rescue services are at the scene.
"It's an animal transport with pigs that's involved. The truck is on the road, but the trailer is half in the ditch. There are no injuries, but there are pigs walking around on the road," an operator at the emergency services center in Kristianstad tells the newspaper Norra Skåne.
