E6 closed at Halmstad after a fire in a truck

– It is a fully developed fire that probably started somewhere in the engine compartment. It must have got a little in the grass next to the road too. I have not received a return report yet, but we are there with a number of units, says Johan Wallin, officer on duty at the rescue service, to Hallands Nyheter.

The fire has been extinguished but is affecting traffic in the southbound direction. The emergency services hope to soon be able to release traffic in one lane.
