Three people have been killed and three more injured when a double-decker bus hit a bus stop in central Stockholm on Friday.
Swedish police said they had no information pointing to it being an attack, and there were no passengers on the bus at the time.
“It is being investigated as involuntary manslaughter. The bus driver has been arrested but that is routine in such an incident,” a police spokesperson said.
Police said they would not yet comment on the gender or ages of those killed or injured.
Authorities reported that police, rescue teams, and ambulances responded swiftly to the scene of the incident.
A picture on daily Aftonbladet’s website showed emergency services surrounding a blue double-decker bus, with debris scattered around the vehicle.
The incident occurred near the Royal Institute of Technology university, police said.
“We do not yet know the cause of this but right now my thoughts are foremost with those who have been affected and their families,” Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said on X.
