The press spokesperson for the day is on duty. Below is a selection of events from the night.
00:55 Sabotage, Bollebygd
Several trucks go the wrong way off National Road 40 after road signs that were supposed to divert traffic onto an alternative road during resurfacing work have fallen down or directed drivers the wrong way. The vehicles cannot pass under a bridge and, with several heavy vehicles on the road, it is impossible for them to turn around. While attempting to reverse away from the site, one truck ends up in a ditch, requiring assistance from several recovery vehicles. Several trucks are stuck at the site until they can be recovered. A report of sabotage has been filed, as there is suspicion that signs were deliberately moved. There are currently no suspects.
