Snow and cold weather can cause difficult driving conditions. The Norwegian Public Roads Administration is now warning against slippery roads in eastern Norway.
– It is very cold now and when it snows and it is still cold, we know this can provide difficult driving conditions.
This is what the section leader in the Norwegian Public Roads Administration, Asbjørn Stensrud says.
The police also urge you to drive carefully:
Traffic accidents accumulate
On the E6 after the Follotunnelen in Viken, a truck has hit the railing and the right lane is closed in the direction of Oslo.
A woman was taken to the hospital for a checkup after driving down the E6 Tangen. Police are working to clear the road.
In Skarnes, a car with two people went off the road and ended up on the roof.
On the E6 Follotunnelen in the direction of Oslo, the speed is reduced to 50 km / h due to the slippery roads.
– Salt has little effect due to cold, so motorists should slow down and drive according to conditions, advises the traffic center.
On municipal road 24 Amundrudbakken in Stange, several trucks were stuck and the road was blocked for more than two hours.
Inland police reported a chain-link collision between three cars on E6 Gausdalsvegen on Monday. One of the cars must have suffered significant material damage.
There has also been a traffic accident on the E18 in Drammen. A car must have hit the guardrail after being hit by another car.

Danger warning in the mountains
Snow and wind are the recipe for snowdrifts, meteorologists report on Twitter.
– There is a danger warning in the mountains of southern Norway until this afternoon, before it calms down. Tomorrow afternoon the wind picks up and there will be local snowdrifts again, they write.
– Now people have gotten used to driving for a long time in cold and stable weather. When there’s a cover like now, it’s important to be warned about it, says Stensrud.
