A backhoe loader hangs over the guardrail and onto the road on national road 63.

Police are on the scene and helping with traffic direction at the location due to a truck that was loaded with an excavator driving into a viaduct according to the first reports from the scene. The truck is supposed to be on the road, but the excavator has ended up badly.

The accident occurred at Ulvsbyn. Salvage teams have been ordered and there are no reports of any personal injuries.

Update 14:33: A pole is knocked down at the road. There is a stop in both directions and other traffic is requested to take an alternative route if possible. The accident is being investigated at present, and it appears that someone forgot to lower a barrier, which led to the vehicle overturning.
