The accident on the bridge in Piteå: “I can confirm some findings”

A few days ago, the police confirmed that they had made some discoveries. According to an anonymous source, they should have found the harness and the bridge railing that went down into the water when the repairman in his 50s fell from the bridge.

Investigates causing the death of another

– I can confirm that. A helmet was also found, but it is unclear whether it was found in the water or whether it floated ashore, says Stig Andersson.

The incident is being investigated as a work environment violation and the classification is causing the death of another.

“Was difficult to search”

Missing People searched during Tuesday for the missing man with the help of their sonar-equipped special boat. They have scanned the water downstream of the Bergvik Bridge, but the man has not been found yet.

– Now we are working on analyzing the pictures we took. It has been very difficult to search the water because there is so much timber, stone and other debris. If everything goes according to plan, we will also search tomorrow, says Martin Persson, operations manager for Missing People in Norr- and Västerbotten.

How will the police search continue on Wednesday?

– I have no information about the search effort during the day, but there are plans for continued search efforts, says the police informant.
