A traffic accident occurred on the E6 highway at the Aspfjord Tunnel in Sørfold, prompting emergency services to respond around 12:30 PM. The collision involved two heavy vehicles and a passenger car, with a total of three individuals from the vehicles. Fortunately, all those involved appeared unharmed, but the highway had to be closed in both directions as clean-up efforts began, and the local police conducted investigations at the scene.

According to police spokesperson Tommy Bech, operations at the accident site are being managed by local contractors who are facilitating the vehicle recovery process. As a result of the incident, one driver has been reported for violations under specific traffic regulations, particularly concerning load security and other violations. They have also had their driver's license confiscated as part of the enforcement action taken by authorities.

The incident underscores ongoing concerns regarding safety on Norwegian roads, particularly in areas like tunnels where traffic can be heavy and conditions hazardous. As the police continue their investigation and the area is cleared, authorities hope to address any safety issues that may prevent similar accidents in the future, illustrating a proactive approach to road safety enforcement in the region.
