According to the police RLC commander, the alarm came in the early hours of the morning about the single accident. There are no reports of personal injuries. At the scene, the police, who moved out from Kiruna, could ascertain that no driver made himself known. On the other hand, there was a person who came to be suspected of minor drug offences.
According to witness statements, the car appears to have come at high speed from Björklidenhållet, and driven off the road already before the road barrier that is at the road crossing over Abiskojokken. As the pictures show – it is clear that the motorist was very lucky that the car did not end up in the canyon in the fierce rapids.
SVT has not been able to get in touch with the police’s on-call preliminary investigation manager for more details about the incident.
