Watch out on the motorway E6

The elk or moose can weigh between 300 - 500 kg and is in Norway considered the King of the Forest.
In Moss there even is a bronze statue of this magnificent animal.

But imagine driving in 90 or 100 km an hour on the motorway and "meeting" such an animal.
That means, at least, death to the animal and heavy damage to the car.
In worst case scenario, that also can mean the death of the passengers in the car.

Outside Moss is the E6, the main motorway for those coming from Gothenburg in Sweden to Oslo. Along the motorway, tall fences keep animals and people off the motorway.
Now, in nearby Raade, part of the fence will be down till the end of the month, and there have been some near accidents when elks have walked up on the road.

Look out!
