The accident occurred just after midnight, the night towards Sunday, and the man died on the spot.
We have a traffic accident, with a person hit, says Tobias Ahlén Svalbro, press spokesperson at the police in Region Mitt.
The police's technicians have been on the site and the police car has been seized. A preliminary investigation into causing another person's death has been initiated and is led by the Special Prosecution Chamber.
Interrogations have been held with the police officers involved. I do not know if there have been any witnesses, says Robin Simonsson, press spokesperson at the Prosecution Authority.
Otherwise, Simonsson is tight-lipped about the course of events and does not provide any information about the deceased man.
It will probably take a while before we can release more information, he says.
