Late at night, a truck drove off the E6 highway near Hammer in Snåsa, landing approximately 10 meters from the road. Fortunately, the driver emerged unscathed from the incident. Although the trailer was equipped with good tires, the road conditions were reported to be very slippery at the time of the accident. Responding to the situation, a snowplow was dispatched to clear and salt the area following the incident.

As a result of the accident, the E6 highway has been closed in both directions to facilitate the recovery of the truck. This closure is likely to impact traffic flow along this crucial route, which is significant for local and national transportation in Norway. Authorities have yet to provide an estimated time for the reopening of the highway, making it essential for motorists to seek alternative routes during this disruption.

The incident highlights the challenges of driving in winter conditions in Norway, where icy roads can lead to accidents despite precautions such as winter tires. It serves as a reminder for drivers to remain vigilant and adjust their driving behaviors according to the weather and road conditions, especially during snowy periods, to prevent similar incidents.
