A couple riding on a motorcycle were severely injured last night near Årjäng in northern Sweden. The couple had been driving behind a truck as a moose ran out in front of the truck. The truck driver braked heavily which forced the motorcycle driver to take an evasive manoeuvre, overtaking and driving past the truck.

The truck still hit the moose which was sent up in the air, slamming down on  the couple on the overtaking motorcycle. Read more here (in Swedish)
