In Northern Norway, treacherous road conditions are causing significant disruptions.

Early this morning, a bus veered off the road in Harstad, Troms, narrowly missing a garage.

Meanwhile, in Finnmark, a truck skidded across the E6 highway near Alta, blocking traffic in both directions.

Despite being equipped with winter tires, the truck struggled on the slushy roads.

Authorities have warned of challenging driving conditions across several routes in Finnmark, particularly on mountain passes where snow and ice are prevalent.

The Norwegian Public Roads Administration is actively monitoring the situation, urging drivers to ensure their vehicles are properly equipped for winter conditions.

As temperatures are expected to rise later in the day, drivers are reminded to report any hazardous stretches to facilitate prompt action by road maintenance crews.
