A motorcyclist in his 50s has died following a traffic accident on the E4 outside Norrköping. The crash occurred on Thursday and involved a collision with a car. Police are now investigating the incident.

The accident occurred on the afternoon of October 12 on the E4 highway between Linköping and Norrköping, near Mantorp. According to police, a motorcycle collided with a passenger car around 2 p.m. The motorcyclist, a man in his mid-50s, was taken to the hospital but could not be saved. The other driver, a woman in her 40s, escaped unharmed.

Police cordoned off the road for several hours for a technical investigation. Traffic was rerouted via alternative paths, causing queues in the area. Aftonbladet reports that the road conditions were dry and the sun was shining, but the exact cause of the collision remains unknown at this stage.

'It is a tragic event and we deeply regret it for the relatives', says police spokesperson Daniel Wikdahl in a comment to Expressen. The investigation focuses on speed and potential traffic safety issues on the stretch, which is known for high traffic volume.

The background to the accident points to a possible overtaking situation, but no details have been confirmed. Police urge witnesses to come forward with tips. The incident is the third fatal motorcycle accident in Östergötland this year, according to official statistics from the Transport Agency, raising questions about motorcycle safety on motorways.
