The accident occurred just before half past three on the night of Thursday. Ambulance, emergency services and police were called to the scene.
The police had received an alarm that a car damaged in a crash was driving erratically on the E4 at the height of Jönåker.
Moments after the police saw the car, it collided with a truck and then drove into the center barrier.
– It has gone quickly, says Daniel Johansson, officer on duty.
The man was trapped in the car and had to be helped to get free. He was taken to hospital but, according to the police, he was not seriously injured in connection with the accident. He was awake and talkative.
The road was temporarily closed during the clean-up work. At four o’clock at night, the road was passable again.
The driver, an 18-year-old man, is suspected of drunk driving, reckless driving and illegal driving.
