In addition to poor visibility, the road must also have been slippery.
The driver is uninjured and the road is currently closed in both directions. Soon, however, traffic will be released alternately, the police write.

How can the electricity be knocked out by 5-10 cm of snow as you write? Isn’t that a very common amount of snow in winter? Exactly what is the problem for our power grid this year with those kinds of normal snow amounts?
Wind
It can be due to a few different things.
If the snow is wet and heavy, trees can fall and tear down power lines, for example.
If it is cold, high electricity consumption can cause the electricity networks to become overloaded.
Slippery and a lot of snow on the roads also make it more difficult for the electricity companies’ staff to get there to repair things that have broken.
