One person has died after the serious traffic accident that occurred on the E6 near Falkenberg on Saturday evening.

A total of five people were injured in the accident, which was caused by a man driving his car in the opposite direction on the highway.

– One person has been identified and is deceased. It is a woman in her 50s. Two people are still seriously injured, says police duty officer Sebastian Börjesson shortly before 4 o’clock on Sunday morning.

It is unclear why the man in one car drove in the wrong lane. The police received an alert about the car driving against the traffic and the subsequent accident quite close to each other.

The crime classification is currently gross negligence in traffic.
