The driver denies any crime: "Was shocked"

The driver, who is in his 60s, is on probable grounds suspected of causing the death of another, causing bodily harm and negligence in traffic.

In interrogations that have been held on Wednesday afternoon, he denies any crime. Dahlberg does not want to go into the client's explanation for what happened when the bus drove into the ditch.

- I have just been informed that he must stay in custody overnight, says Dahlberg and adds that the prosecutor must request that the driver be detained by tomorrow at the latest.

- We will see if the prosecutor chooses to do so. This is not normally a crime for which one is deprived of liberty.

To Expressen, prosecutor Tommy Sköld states that they still have not received any explanation as to how the accident could occur.

- We are still in a situation where we cannot rule anything out, he says.

Several people who were on the bus have not yet been able to be heard, according to Sköld.

- We do not want to release information with the risk of coloring their information, he says.

During Tuesday, Region Kronoberg stated that about ten people were treated in hospitals in the region. The three people who previously received intensive care were moved to regular care wards.
