A man has died after an accident with a salt truck on the E22 outside Mönsterås during the night, relatives have been informed.
– The information available is that for some reason the truck has ended up on its side in a ditch, then the investigation will have to show exactly what has happened, says Fredrik Bratt, spokesperson for the police.
The driver of the lorry, a man in his 45s, was found underneath the lorry and the road was closed in both directions as the operation took place.
– My opinion is that he was alone in the salt truck, says Fredrik Bratt.
The incident is being investigated as a workplace accident and a report of work environment violations has been drawn up.
– During the night we investigated what happened and something we will continue to investigate, says Fredrik Bratt.
