Swedish roadways are facing important disruption due to a series of multiple-vehicle collisions on major highways. The incidents, reported on both the E4 and E18 highways, have resulted in extensive traffic backups and have prompted authorities to strongly advise motorists against needless travel.
The first major accident on the E4 highway was reported shortly after a.m., involving a substantial number of northbound vehicles traveling between Björklinge and Läby. There are a large number of cars that have driven into each other. It is tough to count the number with five fingers, explained Stefan Larsson, a police spokesperson, describing the chaotic scene. this incident was followed by several subsequent accidents in the same location, compounding the traffic congestion.
Two hours later, at approximately p.m., a second major collision occurred on the E18 highway, heading towards Västerås in Uppsala.

Swedish police confirmed the incident,specifying the location and the number of vehicles involved.
