Two others are conscious, but their state of health is otherwise unclear, the police told news on Monday afternoon.  The emergency services reported the accident around half past two.  There were long queues in both directions and many people stood for several hours before the traffic was diverted.  The biggest challenge was for northbound traffic.  At 6.50 p.m., the Swedish Road Traffic Center reports that the road has been cleared and opened to traffic in both directions.

Two people were trapped in one car.  They were taken to hospital in Arendal.  One of them was flown on to Ullev\u00e5l.  On Monday evening, the police informed that the cause of the accident is currently unknown.  The police have interviewed witnesses and carried out technical investigations at the scene of the accident.  The traffic accident happened on the E18 at Lundeslettene in Tvedestrand.  Detour roads had to be sprinkled Operations manager Kleivane urged motorists who were left in queues to behave calmly.  &#8211; They must not try to turn on the road.  This takes the time it takes, he says.  Just before 3 p.m., it was announced that motorists had to be prepared to stand for at least one more hour. This was because the bypass roads that were to be used had to be sprinkled and salted before traffic from the E18 could be allowed onto them.  &#8211; We are talking about smaller county roads where measures need to be taken, said traffic operator Kjetil L\u00f8v\u00e5s in the Norwegian Public Roads Administration to news on Monday afternoon.  He encourages people to stay in line and not stress.  &#8211; We have received tips that some motorists have driven out of the queue to turn around.  This has created dangerous situations, says L\u00f8v\u00e5s.  Air ambulance on its way from the scene of the fatal accident.
