Swedish authorities reported several wildlife vehicle collisions over two days in late February 2026. According to Östersunds-Posten, three moose and one roe deer were struck by vehicles during Thursday evening. The following day, Kristianstadsbladet reported that two otters were killed by vehicles near Hovby on Friday afternoon.
Police were contacted regarding the otter incident. Both reports indicate a pattern of wildlife-vehicle collisions occurring during evening and afternoon hours. The incidents highlight ongoing challenges with wildlife crossing roads in Sweden, particularly during winter months when animals may be more active near roadways.
