On Thursday evening, more snow fell than expected in parts of Skåne and Kalmar.
We have close cooperation with SMHI and it is their forecasts that form the basis for how we prepare, says Roberto Maiorana.
But they haven't always been as accurate as they should be, and that's also because this snowstorm extends over a fairly large area, he continues.
The Swedish Transport Administration is on standby to handle an orange warning in Västervik in Småland.
It didn't get 40 centimeters there, but it got up to 40 or 50 in other places where we didn't have the same warnings.
Maiorana also urges road users to follow weather warnings from SMHI and ensure that their vehicles are winter-equipped before taking to the roads.
Then I believe that our efforts can help prevent us from having this many accidents.
Reports of accidents and traffic problems in southern Sweden have been pouring in since Thursday evening. The worst was in Skåne, with several accidents during the night and Friday morning. There, traffic was paralyzed along the E6 and E22, among others, due to the heavy snowfall. Road users were stuck for hours and both the E6 and E22 were temporarily closed.
