Stockholm Bus Stop Crash Kills 3, Injures 3 as Police Point to Accident

Police now favor an accidental cause, with the detained driver under a routine involuntary-manslaughter investigation.

Overview

  • Authorities updated the toll to three dead and three injured after a double-decker struck a Valhallavägen bus stop near KTH around 15:23 on Friday.
  • Investigators report no indication of a deliberate act and are proceeding under Sweden’s standard involuntary-manslaughter procedure while the cause is established.
  • The driver, the only person on board, was detained and is hospitalized pending interrogation and medical checks, according to police.
  • Emergency crews cordoned the Östermalm scene and transferred the injured to hospitals; the out-of-service bus had no passengers.
  • The operator is cooperating by supplying technical records as police analyze witness accounts, images and vehicle damage to assess possible health or mechanical factors.
