The first accident occurred at 05.45 on the E20 in the direction of Stockholm, near the Kjula junction.
Pictures from the scene show the car standing in the road, and according to photographer Pontus Stenberg, it was snowing properly and it was brave on the roads. It is unclear if anyone was injured.
Initially, the road was completely closed in one direction, causing long queues.
At 08.45 another accident occurred on the E20, this time between the Svista and Kjula interchanges in the direction of Örebro.
According to the Swedish Transport Administration, the left lane was closed in both directions.
– There is a car that has gone into the middle barrier and one lane is closed in both directions. There is a lot of debris on the road and we have no forecast at the moment, says Anders Hägglund, officer on duty at the rescue service to Eskilstuna-Kuriren.
The driver must not be injured.
Snow warning
Before Friday, SMHI issued a yellow warning for snow that applies to large parts of eastern Svealand.
Despite that, the rescue service has had a quiet morning.
– With the weather, we thought it would be worse, but people seem to have taken it easy with their summer tires, says Daniel Kaissidis, officer on duty at the rescue service.
