UPDATE: 17:05

Traffic is moving on the E4 after an earlier accident, but several lorries appear to have come to a stop, according to a reader travelling towards Skellefteå.

– There are currently 3–5 lorries unable to make it through the slippery conditions.

While the long lines of vehicles should be passable, accessibility is somewhat restricted, according to the reader's recent update.

However, the Trafikverket reports that the northbound lane is blocked by the stranded trucks.

UPDATE: 08:38

Right now, road conditions remain very challenging across large parts of Västerbotten, according to Traffikverket's road map.

This includes ruts, patches of ice, and loose snow, increasing the risk of snowdrifts, skidding and shifting snow.
