A truck is blocking the entrance to Klaratunneln after getting stuck at the height barrier. Police anticipate long queues and traffic issues as they redirect vehicles.
The incident occurred shortly after noon, with the truck blocking the entrance towards Norrtull in Stockholm. Police and road assistance are on-site, and the tunnel entrance is closed.
"A truck got stuck because it was taller than allowed for entry into Klaratunneln," says Carina Skagerlind, spokesperson for Stockholm police.
Images from the scene show a white truck that exceeded the tunnel's height limit, with parts of its roof torn off. Road assistance is working to remove the truck, while police redirect traffic.
"There's always heavy traffic in Klaratunneln, so this will impact other traffic," says Carina Skagerlind.
No injuries have been reported, according to the police.
"We will check the driver and investigate why the height limit was not observed," says Carina Skagerlind.
The maximum height for entering Klaratunneln is three meters.
