Traffic on the route has been stopped and there is no forecast for when it can resume.
VR’s communications manager Christer Ekelund says that it was train 18106 from Örebro to Avesta Krylbo that derailed near the station, on its way onto the track. None of the people are said to have been injured.
In an email to SVT, he states that the people have not yet been evacuated:
“We are waiting for personnel who can ensure evacuation. No forecast for when that might happen.”
According to the Swedish Transport Administration, the derailment must have taken place at low speed.
