A 25-year-old man was injured in a serious workplace accident at Forsmark's nuclear power plant on Friday morning. The extent of the injuries remains unclear on Saturday, according to the police.

The police cordoned off the area in the evening and witnesses were questioned. The crime classification is work environment offense and causing bodily harm, and has been handed over to the prosecutor.

We will conduct a technical investigation this week, says the police's press spokesperson Tobias Ahlén-Svalbro.

The man was taken to hospital by ambulance helicopter. It is unclear what happened, but the accident occurred in connection with welding work, as Gefle Dagblad previously reported.
