Over 106 people were allowed to seek medical care for the mass crash on the E18 which occurred at lunchtime between Bålsta and Enköping on Saturday. Hundreds of cars were involved. The laser in Enköping and the Academic Hospital has gone up in reinforcement mode as a result of the accidents and opened up to receive people in need of crisis support. “Empty on the roads – like a horror movie” Bärgaren Ibrahim Hindi tells TV4 News that it is difficult to describe what it looked like at the site. – It was empty on the roads and the cars were gathered in a lump. It was like a horror movie or a zombie movie, he says. Hindi thinks he has never seen anything like it before. – Except for film. I thought something like this would never happen in Sweden. It’s horrible. Ready at midnight: “I hope” since Ibrahim Hindi arrived at 15 o’clock he has been able to salvage about ten cars. – There are trucks in the way and the passenger cars are stuck. You have to remove the trucks first. Hindi thinks they got all cars away until midnight. – Now there are a lot of cars left. There are about 15 to 20 left on the road. If we have time with them, we are ready at the earliest 23, I hope. The call: Use cruise control Now he urges motorists to use cruise control. – For cruise control, if it is an obstacle on the road and can slow down. Use winter tires, especially double tires. Run slowly and keep the speed. This is important. Lap and snow also made it to the E4an at Björklinge between Uppsala and Gävle, where several cars were involved in a mass crash. 13 people were allowed to apply for medical care after the accident, but no one should have suffered serious injuries. The E4 is open again but E18 in the eastern direction towards Stockholm is still closed.
