The E6 highway near Eitervikneset in Narvik has been closed following a collision with a moose. There have been no reports of personal injuries, but the moose is injured and remains on the road, obstructing traffic. Authorities have been notified, and the wildlife management crew is on its way to handle the situation.

The local police are also en route to manage traffic flow in the area to ensure safety for drivers while the animal is retrieved from the roadway. Such incidents are not uncommon in Norway, where wildlife often comes into contact with vehicles, especially in rural areas.

The closure of a major highway like the E6 can cause significant disruption for both local commuters and long-distance travelers. The authorities urge patience as they work to clear the scene and restore normal traffic conditions.
