Three months have passed since a tram crashed into a kebab restaurant on Gothenburg's main avenue. Investigators say they need more time to determine what caused the accident.
The tram plowed into Sannegården Kebab on Avenyn during the night before Midsummer Eve. Avenyn is Gothenburg's most famous street, known for its restaurants and nightlife.
Lead investigator Greger Landkvist confirmed the delay. "This is one of the most extensive investigations I've been involved with," he said in a statement.
The crash occurred when the city was preparing for Midsummer celebrations. This major Swedish holiday typically involves large family gatherings.
Investigators must determine why the tram left its tracks and crashed into the building. The process involves examining the vehicle, tracks, and operating systems.
Such lengthy investigations are unusual for traffic accidents in Sweden. The complexity suggests either mechanical failure or human error played a role.
Local residents await answers about safety on Gothenburg's tram network. The system carries thousands of passengers daily through Sweden's second-largest city.
