Young British band deaths, Swedish police cock-up

Swedish police have admitted vital CCTV evidence has been deleted.

Warning lights on the bridge weren't working properly.

Smells a bit iffy.

Witnesses said lights were working.

Not according to recent reports in the media.

I didn't say they weren't working, I said "properly"

Re: Young British band deaths, Swedish police cock-up

That makes a lot of difference, but the fact remains that whoever was driving was on the wrong side of the road and going too fast.

I've just been reading the latest reports with still photos from the bridge which show the car on the correct side of the road.

I'm wondering if there were some "unconfirmed" reports, as the press like to call them, used in early media reporting.

Doubt it.

So sad and tragic, the driver must have seen other cars had stopped, it might be that there was a problem with their vehicle.

The news at 10 has again questioned the warning lights, apparently an intermittent fault with the new ones.

Possibly driving in snow, the opposite side of the road and sat on the left side of the car could've contributed to confusion?

The car was hit by a massive cargo ship just after it hit the water which experts doubt will be much use to inspectors.
