A man Aftonbladet spoke to witnessed the accident.
– I saw it from behind. They came at normal speed. Three, four knots, then it looked like they didn’t get the reverse and were able to brake, he adds The evening paper.
The boat must have entered the quay and then bounced to the side, according to the witness.
– You heard a loud bang and a second later a police car appeared.
