One dead after bus ran through crowd

Lund, Sweden
2015-02-06

The central part of Lund was closed yesterday because of a big water leak in the district heating pipes.
Hot water ran along the streets and the city were covered in steam.
Suddenly a rerouted bus ran past the police block and on to the sidewalk, where it hit several people.
A 65 year old man on a bike was killed in the accident and three women were rushed to hospital, one of them with serious, but not life threatening injuries.
It is still not clear why the bus drove at high speed on the sidewalk.
A police investigation has started and the bus will be investigated. The driver is under suspicion of involuntary manslaughter, grievous bodily harm and reckless driving but during investigation the charges can be changed.
