One person was pinned after a rock fall near the Stenkullafors power station, north of Åsele, which Västerbottens-Kuriren was the first to report.

– One person got his leg pinned under a large stone and was stuck, says Lena Andersson, emergency operator at Räddningsregion Mittnorrland to TT.

The alarm came at 10pm on Monday. By 11 p.m. the person had been freed and the emergency services had left the scene.

– No one had to be taken to hospital, says Ola Nilsson at SOS Alarm.
