On a Friday morning, two snowmobile accidents occurred in quick succession outside Åre, Sweden, causing injuries that required hospital treatment. The first accident took place at 11 AM between Björnänge and Helgesjövallen when a snowmobiler reportedly crashed into a tree. Emergency services responded swiftly, transporting the injured adult male via helicopter to the hospital, where he was reported to have sustained moderate injuries but was in relatively good condition.

Shortly after the first incident, around 1:30 PM, a second accident triggered another emergency response from Trillevallen, also involving a collision with a tree. The arrival at the scene included a helicopter, ambulance, and firefighting services as responders assessed the situation. An individual was transported by ambulance helicopter to the hospital; however, details about the severity of injuries sustained in this incident have yet to be clarified.

Authorities including the police are set to interview those involved in the accidents as part of the investigation into the circumstances surrounding these incidents. Given that both accidents occurred in a popular recreational area, the events raise concerns about snowmobile safety in the region, particularly during peak winter activities.
