Technical Fault Suspected in Malmö Bus Accident

A bus driver in Malmö detected potential mechanical problems during his Tuesday route. He decided to drop off all passengers as a precautionary measure. The empty bus then collided with another bus and crashed into a wall while returning to the depot. Emergency services had to free the trapped driver from the wreckage. Authorities confirmed the driver did not sustain serious injuries. Police initially classified the incident as suspected traffic negligence. Investigators now suspect a technical fault caused the accident. The bus has been impounded for detailed mechanical examination. Malmö is Sweden's third-largest city, located in the southern Skåne region known for its extensive public transport network. This incident raises questions about maintenance protocols for public transportation vehicles in Swedish cities. Regular mechanical inspections are mandatory for all commercial vehicles in Sweden, but this accident suggests potential gaps in safety procedures.
