Traffic hazards have been reported on major Danish motorways in East Jutland. Early reports indicated a dead deer on the E45 motorway between Lyngdrup and Vodskov.

Later warnings from the Danish Road Directorate (Vejdirektoratet) identified additional hazards, including live deer roaming the emergency lanes of the E45 in both directions between Svenstrup and Svenstrup N. Other obstructions included trailer parts on the E45 southbound and lost metal cargo on the E20 motorway near Fredericia.
