Deer on E18 causes minor traffic disruption
Key Points
  • Deer on E18 between Ekolskrog and Åsen interchanges caused minor traffic disruption.
  • Warning issued at 06:36; traffic flowing normally by 07:26.
  • Deer was on wrong side of wildlife fence; no reports of accidents or injuries.

The warning was issued at 06:36, with Trafikverket reporting that the deer was moving on or near the roadway, affecting traffic in both directions. The animal was on the wrong side of the wildlife fence, which contributed to the incident. Trafikverket described the impact on traffic as minor.

Traffic was expected to be affected until around 07:30, but by 07:26, traffic was flowing normally again. It remains unclear what specific actions were taken to resolve the situation, whether the deer was safely removed or left on its own, and if any accidents or injuries occurred. The number of vehicles delayed is also unknown, as is whether the wildlife fence has been repaired or secured.
