Alert about crazy trips on E4
During the morning, the police received several calls about cars driving at very high speed on the E4 south through Östergötland, something that Corren was the first to report.
The crazy trips must have been broadcast live on Tiktok. Police patrols are in place on the stretch and have managed to stop one of the motorists.
Some must have stopped and met their needs on the road in connection with queues that had formed.
– Some who did not understand that there will be queues may have thought too much and then they took the opportunity to stop and pee, which we think is extremely inappropriate, says Johnny Gustafsson to Aftonbladet.

Hello. How is insanity defined? Is it when someone has driven 20 km/h too fast on a 110 road or what is the idea there?
Happy Easter to those of you who work today at AB🐣
Peter
Hello Peter! None of the noisy motorists tried to follow them and the police have not measured the speed either, so it is difficult to say, but according to Johnny Gustafsson, it was “tremendous speeds”, which is possibly even over 120-130 km/h.
It says there was an armed robbery against a pharmacy, two arrested. Furthermore, it says that there was an armed robbery against two pharmacies. How many pharmacies were robbed?
Matias Silvander
Hello Matias! Two pharmacies were robbed.
Hello!
The whole world has reported on the attack in Palestine in the mosque why haven’t you done it?
See that as soon as something happens in Israel it’s a terrorist attack?
ElStefano
Hello! We can of course always report more on what is happening. We wrote about it in an article yesterday which you can read here.
How many women have been murdered (or suspected of being murdered) so far this year? Feels like there should be at least as much focus on it as all gang shootings. Women deserve to feel safe in your own homes.
Sorry
Why don’t you deal with the bizarre, and completely incorrect, claim that you are not allowed to speak Russian in Sweden…? Your article is one long exposition in which the Russian family is allowed to speak for itself, and which plays right into the hands of the Russians.
Line 5
What do you think we should “meet”?
The article is about a feature on Russian television. The reporter has looked up the family’s history, and can tell you that what they state in the clip is not true.
That it is not forbidden to speak Russian in Sweden is pretty obvious to all of us who live here, isn’t it? 🙂
