Five Dead in Stockholm Construction Elevator Crash

Investigation underway for potential work environment violations as construction halts at the site.

Five people died when a construction site elevator in Sundbyberg, a suburb of Stockholm, Sweden, plummeted 20 meters (66 feet) to the ground.
The cause of the accident remains unclear and construction at the site has been halted.
A preliminary investigation is ongoing, led by senior prosecutor Gunnar Jonasson, on suspicion of 'work environment violations causing the death of another.'
The victims' identities are being confirmed and their relatives are being contacted.
The elevator's manufacturer stated that the type of elevator involved in the accident has been used globally for over 20 years without such an incident.
