Deadly Stockholm Bus Crash Triggers Criminal Probe

Overview

• Swedish police said a bus hit people waiting at a stop in Östermalm, leaving at least three dead and several injured, with tallies differing across early reports.
• Authorities opened an investigation for suspected negligent homicide and detained the driver as they work to determine the cause and secure the area.
• Public transport operator SL confirmed the vehicle was out of service at the time, emergency teams isolated the scene, and at least one victim was reported in serious condition.
• In Brazil, a pile-up on the BR-135 in Buenópolis killed a bus attendant and injured five after a truck suffered a mechanical failure, and the highway was later fully reopened.
• Brazilian updates also include a preventive detention order for a driver sought in a Porto Alegre fatal crash, the death of a 20-year-old in a car–bus collision in Lins, and separate wrecks that caused deaths and closures on major highways.
