The offense classification may be changed, says Göran Holmgren, community police officer in Malmö and emphasizes that it still does not exist anything that suggests it would be intentional.

We work completely without preconceptions. We will conduct a technical investigation of the car. We have received some witness statements and I think there is a film. Nobody can say a hundred percent what has happened and we are still interested in witness information.

The incident occurred at a bus stop in central Malmö on Thursday. Four people, including several from the same family, were taken to hospital by ambulance. According to Region Skåne, a girl aged 6–10 has serious injuries, while a two-year-old and two women in their 45s are lightly injured.

It's miraculous that there are not more injured, and even dead. It's a bus stop with a lot of people that he has passed. It's luck in misfortune that not more have been injured, says Holmgren.
