Several people were killed and others injured when a bus rammed into a bus stop queue in central Stockholm during Friday’s afternoon rush hour, police said.
Shortly after the crash, images in Swedish media showed a swarm of police, ambulances, and emergency vehicles at the scene, with rescue crews crouched down along the underside of the double-decker bus, appearing to help people trapped underneath.
“There are both injured and deceased people in the incident. Police are for the moment not commenting on the number, gender, or ages of the victims,” said a police statement.
Health authorities spokeswoman Michelle Marcher told AFP that two seriously injured people had been transported to the hospital.
