A traffic accident took place on the E6 highway at the Aspfjord tunnel in Sørfold, leading to the closure of both the Aspfjord and Kalviktunnels in both directions. The Norwegian police reported that the incident involved two heavy vehicles and a passenger car, with a total of three individuals, one in each vehicle, who all appeared unharmed.

Emergency services quickly responded to the scene, and operations leader Tommy Bech from the Nordland police district confirmed that although the vehicles were involved in a collision, there were no injuries. Efforts to clear the accident site began immediately, with a contractor present and the necessary vehicle recovery services on their way to assist.

Authorities are working diligently to clear the road as quickly as possible, but the closures are affecting traffic flow in the area. Commuters and travelers are advised to seek alternative routes until the situation is resolved. Such incidents remind drivers of the potential hazards on the roads, particularly in tunnel areas where emergency response can be more complicated.
