As Storm Johannes continues to batter northern and central Sweden on December 27, 2025, power outages have expanded to affect up to 40,000 households, with new traffic warnings issued amid ongoing risks from falling trees. The storm has already claimed two lives, as previously reported, and is expected to abate overnight.
Two cars drove off E20 into the ditch between the lanes near Svågertorp on Wednesday evening. No one was injured in the accident, but it significantly impacted traffic. Rescue services, ambulance, and police were called to the scene.
